Pros

The company takes excellent care of its employees, and is unswervingly competent and ethical in managing its affairs. There's a high degree of transparency and oversight from the top down. You can focus on your work because the company has your back and is prepared to handle most situations. It has a well established culture of professionalism, high standards, and community involvement. Most of your colleagues are bright people who are inspired to work in a challenging, constantly evolving business space.

Cons

The long term business model is uncertain. Even with a history of calling the right shots, the business can easily fall prey to trends, bandwagons, or just the precarious market. And some of the departments inevitably foster an insular, overly personal culture, but it's perhaps only noticeable relative to CNET's otherwise very high professional standards.

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
