Pros

Able to attract top talent due to high compensation and fancy titles; can invest behind big ideas as cost is never an issue; driven leadership

Cons

Overstaffed with overlapping roles and responsibilities; no clear talent management and development; top driven culture / super hierarchical with a lot of levels and several doing the same work; Upward management is the key focus at every level; no focus on building culture; no transparency in the appraisal process - important to be known to senior leadership for any major role changes; chaotic environment - run fast is the motto with disregard to the direction with frequent direction changes

Pros

As a leading network, good exposure to a large broadcasting conglomerate. Large number of employees, so you get to meet tons of people. Good place for smart workers, hard workers need to become smart workers to get ahead. Trend setting Network. The CEO has a clear idea of where the company needs to go.

Cons

Poor pay, lower than industry standards. Petty office politics can be seen. Work life balance not great. No employee engagement initiatives. Learning stagnant. HR is aggressive and not people friendly. Taking leaves is a sin.
