Pros
Overall, CBS Interactive is a good place to work. The benefits and pay are competitive and the vacation/holidays are standard. Depending on the division and department you work for, there may be professional department opportunities by means of training and/or attending conventions. The culture is laid back and the company has some "start-up" characteristics (in relation to dress, formalities, etc.), even though it is under CBS Corporation.
Cons
The biggest downside is the lack of career advancement. Moving up the ranks either takes good timing. Simply put, management does not have a clear road map for employees' careers. They appear to like to hire outside the company when a mid-to-upper level manager position needs to be filled. In addition, policies and structure that squash innovation are starting to take hold. Fear of taking risks by management could potentially place the company in a worse situation.
