      A great place to start out or just cruise along. Move on after two years if you're ambitious. - Senior Software Engineer CNET Employee Review

      Pros

      Pay is acceptable. You get the chance to work on some large systems. I made some good connections there but I don't think that that's the norm. Management in my group was very supportive of open source. Good benefits. Good recognition of a job well done by middle management.

      Cons

      Very little opportunity for advancement. The product managers did not do a good job. Senior management never told anybody what was going on. Senior management takes care of their own, and nobody else.

      Pros

      - The people at CNET are some of the kindest and smartest I've ever worked with - Opportunity to grow/carve your own career path, as long as you're willing to put in the work - Team members at all levels are encouraged to have a voice and contribute to the bigger picture

      Cons

      - Change is constant and can get exhausting - Can be disorganized/all over the place (but I will say has made strides in this area over the years) - Significant workload, especially during certain times of year (September around Apple Announcement, Holiday/Q4) - if you don't like jobs that keep you busy then this is probably not the company for you
