Pros

The people are nice. Benefits are good, or were when I left in 2013. You don't have to work very hard, but then again neither do your coworkers...and sometimes that means you're the only one on your staff who's really trying.

Cons

It's so depressing. They keep changing their minds as to the company's goals, focus, and strategy. Leaders don't lead. Good people will leave a team and just not be replaced, or replaced with reassigned people from elsewhere in the company who aren't interested in doing much but showing up, watching TV, and collecting a paycheck. I left before entire departments were eliminated and their jobs taken over by the home office in England. I hear it's gotten worse since then.

Pros

Good benefits and a smart and dedicated team. Interesting problems to solve, but not always solved in the right way.

Cons

A political place to work, there's a restructure around every year, which can get scary. Avoidance of test driven development and can have a low bus factor. Pay rises are unlikely because media is dying.
