Salary Flexibility (depending on your manager) Great co-workers

Cons

Leadership is awful Poor retention Benefits have gone downhill Unlimited vacation (compared to previously generous PTO policy, everyone knows UV sucks) Stifled creativity in favor of traffic Sense of urgency around matters that are not at all urgent Promotions based on favoritism, not merit So many reorgs = low morale Ugly website

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.
