Pros

Cool people great holiday party Pay was good Yearly salary increase with cost of living (3%)

Cons

Company is constantly looking for heads to chop off. Its not a rumor, it's the directive. This makes everyone working there on edge because you don't know if you're on "the list". It hinders collaboration.

Pros

great benefits, people tend to really care about the brands/projects that they work for

Cons

Like cooking with a bad wine, the merger and constant layoffs have only magnified this company's flaws. Employees are spread thin and overworked. They are consistently asked to work late hours and on weekends. Bad management leads to bad communication and an unawareness of what's actually happening on the ground and who is actually doing all of the work. Undeserving people tend to get promoted. At times it feels like doing group projects in high school where the popular kids will get recognition over the nerds who did all the work. All of the fun and creativity that went along with working at Viacom was completely snuffed out by the CBS merger.
