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!
