Discovery IS a great place to work

Executive assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

The people. The energy in the company has increased significantly over the last two years and the performance of the company has too. This hasn't been at the cost of being a great place to work, the new childcare center that has been built onsite at the HQ is fantastic. There are great benefits and work life facilities such as the wellness center, getting your car washed at work and having the opportunity to meet people that are on our air.

Cons

I really don't think there are a lot of downsides. I think that because of the people and the drive sometimes it's a little easy to lose your work life balance. Some senior managers are not as supportive as they could be but there are lots of programs to use if you need to. The pace of change is high and sometimes that's hard to keep pace with. If you like very clear boundaries and stability then Discovery is not the place for you. If you like change and being able to do things that are sometimes outside your comfort zone then it is.

A nice place to visit, but don't count on staying long.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, Salary, Atmosphere. On balance, a very good place to work.

Cons

Removed from most of industry, creating something of a vacuum. Highly volatile organization until you are part of the "in crowd." Transition from private to public company could dampen entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and risk taking (as it already appears to be). Internal politics aren't as sticky as they once were, but can still be difficult.

While Discovery Channel Programming Triumphs, Its Corporate Side Sinks

Business Outlook

Pros

It is easy to feel proud to work at Discovery because it is a reputable and progressive brand. The content of its programming pushes the envelope and leaves viewers feeling like they have gained something intellectually and emotionally. The coworkers are young and it is easy to feel like part of a family.

Cons

Corporate Discovery does not live up to the brand it sells. The office is extremely conservative, regimented and divided. There is relatively little job appreciation and communication between senior management down the ladder of employment is poor.
