      Pros

      - They really do hire the best and brightest - Culture is great - Top tier benefits/perks/pension, especially as part of umbrella company (WBD) - Work / life balance is good as well - Was proud to say I was part of not only CNN but WarnerMedia and then Warner Bros. Discovery

      Cons

      - Sadly CNN has been bounced around a lot due to mergers and acquisitions. Leading to lay offs and general anxiety around job security - Trying to get an internal promotion was a chore, eventually led to looking elsewhere. The main issue is due to budgets being controlled at such a level that employees become numbers and not humans. Leading to lots of leavers and more expensive hires, losing lots of good talent.

      Pros

      nice office, free tea and coffee, chance to learn extra stuff on linkedin learning

      Cons

      no support from manager to move and progress, expected to stay doing the same things (very admin heavy and not creative or proggessive, seems that they dont want you to move up). Unnecessarily lengthy processes, digital systems that could be replaced and work better.
