Pros

Free cable, good healthcare, good experience for the resume to jump to another company

Cons

Promotions aren't about the qualitity of work, they are about managers favorites; No respect for work/life balance - constant pressure and manipulation to put in significant amounts of unpaid overtime; Constantly overloaded with more work than one or even two people can handle; Priorities change very frequently and it causes stress and confusion; Inexperienced people given higher responsibilities without help or guidance; Management level responsibilities given without the increase in title or pay that should come with it

Pros

It's more of a family run business than a corporate environment. We are more a part of the big picture than a small segment of the business and tend to work across channels. The cost of benefits are very inexpensive compared to other large companies. The 401k plan is a 1 to 1 match up to 6% of your contribution. There is an employee stock plan that allows you to purchase stock at a 15% discount. The perks of being in the entertainment business is that many events are sponsered and hence free tickets are available to employees on a regular basis.

Cons

The pay could be a little higher, but then again it is offset by the low cost of benefits and friendly working atmosphere. Compared to other large corporations, the pay could be bumped up a bit. It is known throughout the ranks that they do not pay as well as other companies, but on the good side, the employees don't really complain. The main reason is the great benefits and fringes. I really don't have anything bad to say about the company and so to use up the 100 words I am going to keep typing this response until all the words are used up.

Pros

Free cable! Plus a chance to change how entertainment is consumed through developing products that can reach millions of users. People are generally good-or rather, the good ones are good enough to compensate for the "lifers" who have been promoted (far) beyond their competence.

Cons

Way too many politics at the corporate level, and gross incompetence is never punished in any way. It's nearly impossible to be fired, compensation doesn't reflect performance, and promotions seem to occur on a timetable instead of because of skill or achievemtn.
