Pros
Large company that has historically provided great opportunities for executives who want to move up by relocating between properties.
Good compensation and benefits.
Conservative financial approach -good integrity.
Cons
Leadership has been ineffective in managing industry transition.
No vision - management of Wall St expectations drives decision-making. No clear view of the future of content production and distribution. Some good idea people, but handcuffed by rigorous over-management of resources.
Indiscriminate in its downsizing - lots of talent sent packing without real value assessment.
Advice to Senior Management
Clean house - take the company private and work through the transitional issues without Wall St distraction.
