Pros

Writing for a mass audience, having a meaningful impact on the world, cool geeky gadgets to play with.

Cons

New corporate owners, Red Ventures, project a cult-like vibe and seem to see content as a means of driving ad revenue, rather than ads as means of funding content. Forced to sign non-compete agreements.

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
