      Pros

      Newsroom teams were excellent coworkers.

      Cons

      HR and benefits were messed up during the Discovery merger. I hope they settled that! There are toxic circles that need to be removed.

      Not recommended currently, but I’m a few years might change

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is a new Chief Technology Officer. Maybe a more competent company will buy CNN.

      Cons

      Don’t get a say in your code. Lots of stress and extra hours. Death March of features. Cicd pipeline is considered tech debt. No TPM or QA for two years. People keep leaving, but we aren’t allowed to hire anyone. We aren’t allowed to promote anyone or give them a raise. We aren’t allowed to fire anyone. Very little diversity. Say they are targeting a newer audience but continue to cater to the same groups. Treats remote workers poorly.

      Great people, Great Job, Great benefits, but no growth

      Programmatic and data manager

      Pros

      - They really do hire the best and brightest - Culture is great - Top tier benefits/perks/pension, especially as part of umbrella company (WBD) - Work / life balance is good as well - Was proud to say I was part of not only CNN but WarnerMedia and then Warner Bros. Discovery

      Cons

      - Sadly CNN has been bounced around a lot due to mergers and acquisitions. Leading to lay offs and general anxiety around job security - Trying to get an internal promotion was a chore, eventually led to looking elsewhere. The main issue is due to budgets being controlled at such a level that employees become numbers and not humans. Leading to lots of leavers and more expensive hires, losing lots of good talent.
