Pros

-Extremely high-energy atmosphere -Everyone is friendly and approachable -You feel like a valued member of the team. The internship program requires interns to work in groups to develop an idea for a program/app/resource that CNN doesn't already offer, and high-level officials — including Jeff Zucker — attended the presentations at the end of the internship. This showed me CNN not only appreciates its interns, but takes us and our ideas seriously. -NETWORKING. So many talented people here. I was able to schedule a one-on-one meeting with Chris Cuomo just by talking to his assistant -Free coffee and tea all the timeeeeee

Cons

-The excessive use of the "Breaking News" banner -The commute to the city became a little tiring, but I also wasn't willing to spend the money to live closer!

Pros

Great for resume. Global audience.

Cons

CNN never promotes. It's not what it was. This management is all about profit and that hurts quality. No work life balance. Lots of racism.
