Pros

Viacom has great perks which include PTO days, Summer Days, activities for employees and children, working remotely. Great people and variety of personalities.

Cons

Viacom does not pay what other companies pay, after a certain amount of years your time with the company is limited, constant layoffs and company politics.

Creative Stagnation

Pros

Good People. The people you meet are diverse and lovely. The hours depend on your role. People who are makers will find themselves working later to compensate for poor planning and management.

Cons

Not a creatively driven company. If you come from a design or brand background you will likely find it hard to progress in your career here. It is hard to make quality work as an internal creative team member, as most of the projects are outsourced to small studios. Not good at building young creatives into company and creative leaders.
