      Pros

      good vacation, good benefits. If you already come in as senior management it is not bad. However, don't come here as a team player and hope you are going to move up in 2 years. It just does not happen that often.

      Cons

      Middle level management smothers individual team members. We are not growing fast, and now CBS owns us.

      Pros

      - The people at CNET are some of the kindest and smartest I've ever worked with - Opportunity to grow/carve your own career path, as long as you're willing to put in the work - Team members at all levels are encouraged to have a voice and contribute to the bigger picture

      Cons

      - Change is constant and can get exhausting - Can be disorganized/all over the place (but I will say has made strides in this area over the years) - Significant workload, especially during certain times of year (September around Apple Announcement, Holiday/Q4) - if you don't like jobs that keep you busy then this is probably not the company for you
