PBS provides a good work atmosphere, friendly coworkers, flexible time off, and good opportunities for those interested in working from home on occasion.

The company is currently in transition as it moves more and more of its content onto the web while trying to maintain its brand in competition with less fragmented media companies.

Pros

Job was fairly autonomous and relaxed.

Cons

Complete lack of communication from senior management. Decisions constantly made that affect your work by people who fundamentally don't understand what that work is and will never seek input by those who do. Plans regarding media processes and abilities remain secretive until the last moment from employees, channels and partners. Senior management on the media side of things comes off as delusional towards their knowledge and capabilities of the systems they poorly implemented. Would rather take the advice of vendors trying to sell a product than the staff who knows what needs to be done and how to do it.
