Pros

Flexible schedule, enterprise-level resources, huge opportunities for growth. Benefits were excellent and hands down the easiest inter-organizational structure to work in. Popular content and access to resources to grow content base. Very good line between adopting new tech and maintaining old tech, only pushing when it makes sense.

Cons

Prone to layoffs, a recent merger makes project forecasting difficult. There have been rapid re-organizations trying to best match roles to business goals, often driving business goals without full knowledge or purpose. Focused mainly on the visual media industry, so events there affect all jobs.

Advice to Management

Top-level goals were clear, but expectations from top to bottom were rarely communicated in specifics. A clear disconnect between the C-suite and low-level employees could be managed by a more active knowledge of infrastructure and information pertaining directly to positions being communicated. This comes with the understanding of the immense responsibilities at the top, knowing that any sort of complete knowledge is unrealistic.
