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.

Pros

Name recognition, passionate and talented colleagues

Cons

A lot of people are comfortable being miserable, creating a negative and toxic environment. There is a lot of office politics/favoritism at play that decides who is considered for promotion vs who needs to apply to be considered. Lack of transparency and communication.
