Pros

Great peers. The mission of CNN is soul-fulfilling. The technical resources are amazing. The employee benefits are top notch. There are substantial perks like "Summer Fridays" with early closing and extra holiday days around Christmas every year.

Cons

Hard to believe our morale and work environment could plummet so much in just 2 years. From a great team with great management to a disheartened staff led by heartless and pedantic management who lack any real vision or strategy for success.

Pros

Fascinating environment, Media Insider Perks, Decent promotion rates, opportunity to learn LOTS from the broadcast world if you put the effort in, good networking available if you try.

Cons

Stil a bit of a "good ol boys" club, the higher you advance, especially in engineering. The company is a very large efficient machine, in the sense that they minimize their cost of staff. Low salaries, low raises, layoffs when they need to downsize or cancel a show. The hours can be brutal, if you're in a 24/7 department.
