Pros

Good benefits, bright co-workers (at least in my dept), meaningful work. It's still a respected organization and many people care about it deeply.

Cons

Lack of communication between divisions, top-heavy with management, sense of rudderlessness, Way too much e-mail. There's constant talk about "One CNN," but little progress -- because everybody's trying to hold on to their fiefdom. That's TV for you -- lots of money, lots of ego, little sense.
