Business outlook
Pros
The people at CBS made the place. Everyone was passionate about what they were doing and supported each other. Working in a vast media company with hands in TV, publishing, films, cable TV, etc.
Cons
It was all downhill after Sherry Redstone forced the 2 companies to re-merge. Once that happened, CBS executives and employees were shown the door while Viacom execs were promoted. Sherry wanted CBS content, not people. Viacom added layers of bureaucracy that weren't at CBS. The culture is toxic with people in constant CYA mode.
