      Lots of opportunity, lots of red tape

      Pros

      Huge company, lots of opportunity to grow. Really diverse team of incredibly talented people which makes learning and growing personally a daily routine.

      Cons

      Because they are so large, there's a lot of unnecessary red tape involved in any kind of change. Poor performance is difficult to give any repercussions for and stellar performance is difficult to reward. Status quo and longevity with the company are the only surefire ways to slowly make your way up the ladder.

      Great Compensation but Lousy politics.

      Pros

      Compensation and Benefits and package are probably among the highest in the industry Fantastic building and facility in NY - Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle - probably the best looking media bldg in NYC. Top and highly respected brand.

      Cons

      highly fragmented and pathologically political disregard for employee performance divisions are "groupy" and try to do things within themselves senior management like to ONLY have the people they think they get along with or like and disregard the ones who they think they may not like despite top performance.

      Great place to work--NOT for the faint of heart!

      Pros

      vacation time is very generous. Benefits are generous, as well. Doing something you love everyday is preiceless. Working in such close quarters you develop great friends-- and enemies. Lots of bright, attractive people to work with.

      Cons

      The people are often back-stabbing climbers. Management is often vague and/or contradicting. People are human and make mistakes.
