Pros

Outside of senior management, there are many talented, diverse, and interesting people to learn from. That said, working here can be a resume builder for a year or two but don't count on much longer than that. It's not somewhere that talented young people should plan on building their careers. Even if you don't mind the toxic, directionless corporate culture, the re orgs and layoffs come so often that the anxiety of staying isn't worth it.

Cons

New CEO has been here for over a year but hasn't done anything. Lots of talk about introducing a new strategy but so far only new executive hires and more C-suite bloat. Majority white dudes (really uninspiring). They will probably blame coronavirus for failure to balance the budget, which is a shame, because a reckoning was on it's way before the pandemic hit.

Pros

Inspirational creative leaders, strong brands and rabid consumers

Cons

No operational expertise to run a modern media business, inflated titles (100 C-level "execs"), 50% of the company significantly overpaid (those who make the decisions about cuts/pay . . . ) and demeaning entitled culture (you're lucky to work here)
