      Pros

      Interesting brands to work on like C|NET, CBS Sports, and Gamespot. Friendly environment with smart, motivated people. Good Work/Life balance

      Cons

      Revolving door of talent. Too much interference from CBS Corp. who has a very "classic" way of looking at things. Low salaries, though benefits are pretty good. There's always a bare minimum of resources to accomplish anything. There's too much focus on clicks and views and short attention span content with quality being a lower priority. Technology is outdated. The central technology solution is slow to adapt and vanilla. No strong central technology leadership. Disparate technology leadership that doesn't communicate and at times feuds with each other.

      Pros

      Flexible work hours Free coffee Great location My direct coworkers Senior sisig next block over Video games all around me

      Cons

      Low morale among my colleagues makes going to work difficult Team did not have any clear goals other than to "grow audience" - leading to dedicating my time helping to produce garbage click bait Anyone left seem as if they're looking for the first opportunity to leave Management quick to let great talent go and great talent do not want to stay. Leaving cbsi with a building full of C- players. Pay is laughable Management team in my business unit don't seem to like each other all that much I work as if management does not exist, since they are never here and when they are, not avail for those on the front lines.

      Pros

      The experience of working for a brand and network that was formative to your childhood is a wonderful experience.

      Cons

      The lack of management training and transparency combined with the daily pressure for ratings makes for a miserable place to work.
