Pros
Paid vacation days at the holidays is the best reason to work for CNET Networks. Also, as a sales person, CNET as a brand is well known, respected and easy to sell. The company also offers some nic eperks - yoga and pilates classes on campus. Decent benefits and a good party or two at least once a year. The organization offers ways to get involved in the community - so good philanthropic opportunities for employees who want to give back. There are some wonderful people at CNET Networks - not always recognized as such by management. But people tend to work hard and care a lot about what they do.
Cons
No clear path for growth into management or a leadership opportunities. Female leaders are lacking within the organization. The "boys club" reputation of CNET Networks is true - if you are friends with or peers of a small and close circle of men you may succeed. Otherwise, you will be just a worker bee with no appreciation shown toward you. Their sales compensation plans are very confusing and nowhere near competitive in the market. As such, the morale is low and people leave. Many very talented people have been shown the door after making the company tons of money with absolutely no thanks.
