Pros

Essentially, this is a media organization, one that delivers excellent content across all products. Casual yet professional culture makes this a comfy place to work. Health and dental benefits are generous. CEO Jim Lanzone wants to bring a start up vibe to this original of start-ups now property of CBS, which will hopefully translate into CBSi being able to adjust to changing markets and technology better and faster than has been the case in the last 5+ years. CBS.com is the most successful product.

Cons

Rumors abound that the company will be downsizing a little bit at a time. Bad decisions, lack of vision, nepotism hurt the growth of my business unit and was frustrating to watch. Compared to software industry, compensation is low. Again, this is a media organization. Wish they didn't match 401k contributions with CBS stock. It's performing well at the moment, but at the end of the day, who wants media stock?

Great salary. Health and dental are great as well. Strong name on a resume. Great opportunity to network (be sure to save your own copy of client names and numbers).

Cons

Boring. Other than that all seems ok
