Pros

Exciting opportunities to try new technologies. Great coworkers, benefits, and flexible schedules.

Cons

New owners drastically changed business goals, hired lots of new employees last year, then began laying off more experienced ones in advance of executive bonuses. Many other talented staff members have left since. Management sets uninformed and unrealistic expectations for performance while reducing resources. The company also wastes a lot of time with too many all-hands and professional development meetings that are unrelated to specific positions (I counted 8 hours total for one week).

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
