Pros

Collaborative environment. Friendly coworkers and extensive time off. Plenty of perks and great health care options. Team building activities and great social environment.

Cons

Long hours. Sometimes days would extend past end of shift. Holidays difficult to get off due to the fact that they are not guaranteed. Environment moves very quickly and promotion not always guaranteed.

Pros

I received really cool free stuff like shirts and food.

Cons

It could be a very judgmental workplace and no encouragement to move to WarnerMedia brands outside of CNN.

Pros

It’s a strong brand and good to have in your resume.

Cons

Low salary but high dependency especially on mid-junior level staff. Poor work life balance and lots of office politics. Little to no opportunity for career advancement in Asia.
