      It's a mausoleum for aging visionaries who haven't had a good idea since the 90s - Associate Producer CNET Employee Review

      Pros

      They're in downtown San Francisco and they're easy to reach by public transit. Also, recently purchased by CBS so hopefully that'll lend to some short-term employment/company stability.

      Cons

      Senior management is comprised of career bureaucrats and aging visionaries who haven't seen clearly since 1998 -- and they know it. They're terrified of innovation from the lower craft ranks because they haven't had a good idea in ten years. Unless you move within their circles, your chances for advancement or recognition are between slim or none. There's a lot of noise made about fairness and equality in the workplace here, but let's just say that some pigs are more equal than others.

      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
