      Pros

      CNN is a great company to work for. There's a lot of creativity and flexibility. The brand is so well known everyone flocks to CNN so you get to meet a lot of really great people and cover really great news stories.

      Cons

      It's hard to move up. You can hit a glass ceiling pretty quickly and that ceiling can choke out some really good talent at the bottom.

      Pros

      Can be a very good place to develop skills and to refine your craft. The company has a large infrastructure and could give you opportunities outside of your chosen career path.

      Cons

      Because of the rapid growth of the company, many components of the business were mismanaged. The focus of the look and content of CNN changed to often. There was no clear leadership and that trickled down to most levels of CNN management.

      Some political crap, but overall, OK

      Pros

      Good benefits, bright co-workers (at least in my dept), meaningful work. It's still a respected organization and many people care about it deeply.

      Cons

      Lack of communication between divisions, top-heavy with management, sense of rudderlessness, Way too much e-mail. There's constant talk about "One CNN," but little progress -- because everybody's trying to hold on to their fiefdom. That's TV for you -- lots of money, lots of ego, little sense.
