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.
