Pros

Diverse teams and friendly coworkers

Cons

Support for those discriminated against who speak up is non-existent and which goes against what the company claims to represent. After losing a prior contract due to workplace bullying and discrimination by a former VP, I started at CNN thinking I would be at less risk of this type of behaviour due to the fact I had previously worked for parent company, Turner, who had a strong policy on allowing people to speak up. After my managers becoming aware of my case within 1 week I was relentlessly bullied by my boss to attempt to undermine my abilities, and within 3 weeks was fired for 'not having the right characteristics'.

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.
