Underappreciated Engineers in a Wonderful Big Media Environment - Operations Engineer CNN Employee Review

Pros

Fascinating environment, Media Insider Perks, Decent promotion rates, opportunity to learn LOTS from the broadcast world if you put the effort in, good networking available if you try.

Cons

Stil a bit of a "good ol boys" club, the higher you advance, especially in engineering. The company is a very large efficient machine, in the sense that they minimize their cost of staff. Low salaries, low raises, layoffs when they need to downsize or cancel a show. The hours can be brutal, if you're in a 24/7 department.
