Pros

The editing staff at multiple RV companies is so wonderful to work with and sincerely seem dedicated to creating honest, credible, and helpful content. Remote work.

Cons

The leadership team at RV has proven itself to be heartless and have zero concerns about the people working here. Perhaps even more concerning is the complete disregard for editorial integrity in favor of promoting products and services that make them the most money.

Pros

Smart people below senior leadership

Cons

This company is quite possibly the most toxic environment I have ever set foot in. Ric has created an environment in which people use “radical candor” as an excuse for shredding your basic human dignity. This type of competitive, self-interested culture directly stems from the top.

Pros

Coworkers can be very nice.

Cons

CNET used to be a good place to work, but then Red Ventures came in with no idea how to run this company. There is no direction from management. Layoffs happen regularly. Raises and promotions are only given based on annual reviews, but they rig the reviews scores to avoid giving raises and promotions. After scores are submitted by managers, upper management then lowers them. They then make up excuses and lie to your face about where those numbers came from. Red Ventures is not a good company, and CNET management has fallen under their cultish spell. Even lower level managers show little respect for their employees. They only look out for themselves.
