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.

Pros

Great for resume. Global audience.

Cons

CNN never promotes. It's not what it was. This management is all about profit and that hurts quality. No work life balance. Lots of racism.
