Pros

Good group management, good program management leadership, great SRE engineers

Moving more and more toward staffing primarily with interns and associate engineers. Senior leadership has shown to be duplicitous. Program Management and Product Management groups were decimated.

Pros

I enjoyed what I did at the t.v. station I worked at. I got along well with my direct managers and supervisors.

Company can be unorganized. They went through a lot of restructuring and reorganzation, which resulted in layoffs with very little notice.
