Business Outlook

Pros

When the company was in it's prime, Viacom days, it was magical. The best experience in of my career.

Cons

When times changed, and people started to consume media differently, so did overall sentiment towards employees. Survived wave after wave of layoffs while CEO's received plush bonuses and salaries irrespective of how this would affect the the lower parts of the system. Hence, all others suffered with countless layoffs.

Pros

- Learned a lot in streaming and gained tons of experience - Flexible work schedule - Decent starting pay (but doesn’t keep up)

Cons

- Was told several times by managers and directors that we would have promotions since we were now doing the jobs of both International and Domestic teams (we didn’t) - We see at most a 3% merit raise in our pay every year despite several teams being laid off - Managers see increased effort being done but they just say there isn’t anything they can do - We’re all extremely burnt out and underpaid

Pros

* You're fully vested upon being hired. There's no waiting.

Cons

*HR is practically nonexistent *Promotions aren't based on merit or experience. It's a popularity contest where management promotes their friends *Overall employee morale is low and there's no trust between employees and management *Non-execs walk on eggshells because evaluations and surveys are used against them * The harder you work, the more they fear you. They want you to comply even if that means the work you submit is subpar *Management is poorly trained, not highly educated, and therefore displays weak and inefficient team/dept. leadership
