Pros

I've really enjoyed working at iheartradio (I'm a software engineer). There are a lot of challenging, high-impact problems to work on. Culture and work-life balance are great - almost everyone is friendly, and there's relatively little drama. The corporate parent funds us while respecting our ability to do good work. There are free concerts, free snacks, and free lunches every week. There are a lot of social events that are inclusive and don't come come off as forced (I hate when companies try creating a fake culture).

Cons

There's a lot of technical debt. While the company structure is fairly flat, this sometimes creates some disorganization. Terrible benefits, not at all up to par with modern tech companies.

Pros

Pay is generally below market, company has high attrition rate, and enterprise-wide initiatives are not executed well.

Cons

Company has an extremely high debt load (22 billion plus) that it keeps refinancing at high interest rates (currently 10.6 percent). Current CEO led the team that created what's considered the worst merger in the history of American business (Time-Warner/AOL). Reductions in workforce have happened at least semi-annually over the past several years, as the company finds ways to contract essential services out so that OIBDAN seems strong. The company has become quite effective at hiding these RIFs. Advancement opportunities are limited.
