Business outlook
Pros
Great benefits, excellent support system and internal mobility is strongly encouraged (though in some departments more than others). Overall, a great company to work for.
Cons
The drastic changes over the last couple of years have made job stability there hard to predict. They laid off hundreds of people world wide last summer, and laid off more in some of the brands earlier this year. These lay offs come with no warning, and it is scary to think you can just wake up one day at Viacom, and you will be laid off. I understand it is a corporation, but at least sometimes, you see the lay offs coming in other corporate settings so you can play ahead. You never see them coming at Viacom.
