Business outlook

Pros

Great work colleagues, made and still have a lot of friends there, interesting place to work, environment changes over time, good work/life balance, decent salary.

Cons

Not too many but lack of career progression when you reach a particular point. Serious lack of investment due to budget constraints, many projects put on hold making it somewhat frustrating at times.

Business outlook

Pros

Good job security, good work/life balance, generally nice people to work with. Not much pressure to deliver, though I'm not sure that this is a pro!

Cons

Few career opportunities, top heavy, ageing management with a lot of internal fighting between divisions, heavy labour union interference. Pace of change is frustratingly slow.

Pros

Some good, smart people work for the organisation, particularly at the lower levels The public service broadcasting work is commendable and worthwhile Good work/life balance

Cons

Organisational inertia makes RTÉ very slow to change Some people in the organisation have been there too long and have checked out, they need to incentivise staff at all levels of org. Not enough investment in training or technology, RTÉ will fall further behind without this.
