Pros

Company provides great diversity perks such as money to attend conferences and training. Housing is offered offered to international journalists working abroad. Lots of resources compared to smaller print and news companies so money is not a problem when on assignment.

Cons

Company is not likely to fire an incompetent boss, despite complaints from employees. Have to put the company first if you work in an international office. No work-life balance.

Pros

The CNN brand is respected by most. Those 3 letters hold weight. It's been a pleasure working at one of most respected names in news, breaking news namely. The benefits are great - opportunities for self & professional development, health insurance, discount perks, screenings, swag, etc.

Cons

I would say being overworked is a common thread of working here. Even with all the perks and opportunities offered, you may not have time to take advantage of them. This also makes it challenging for those in certain positions to move up or around the company.
