Pros

A large, very influential market player with a global reach, and it's absolutely great to get that experience then move on to an organization that shoots straighter. Fantastic benefits and vacation packages. Nice, competent colleagues. Pay is awful at first but good if you advance.

Cons

Politics. The organization runs on national partisan politics, internal race-gender politics, including - or perhaps now predominantly - reverse discrimination politics, and clubby internal politics, often based on ethnic background. It's a mess. News is generally still high quality but comes second to political polemics.

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.
