Focus on quality content makes CBS a good company

Senior product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

CBS and CBS Interactive really do focus on creating great quality content. While the tech, design, product and sales teams are treated very well and are key collaborators, CBS is different because of the quality content produced by the journalists at CNET, GameSpot and Chow. But CBS does not slack on innovation. Fantasy football on CBS Sports is well worth paying for even with so many free alternatives. Metacritic's ratings aggregation algorithm really helps to identify quality. And CBS has developed it's own ad serving and BI systems that rival DFP and Omniture but enable CBS to have much greater control over advertising and customer insights.

Cons

Change is a constant at CBS Interactive. Because the company is re-organized every 6 - 9 months, long term veterans of the company - and there are many with 10+ year tenures - are inured to shuffles. This means that all of the re-orgs create uncertainty in the short term, but affect minimal long term change.

Okay while your there - but don't ask for more money. Forget it once you leave

Assistant/coordinator

Business Outlook

Pros

Open, fun, diverse, good perks, overall good people and fun projects.

Cons

Started great, but overworked and underpaid. Once you leave, there is a negative "unprofessional" reputation. Some managers are more focused on their own career goals, rather than helping others to rise and learn. Also, HR can be a trip. They recently made a mistake with my end date to a background check company after I accepted another job - delaying my new start date (I'm 4 years out of MTV and they still haunt me). They were off by 2 1/2 years! Although MTV made the mistake, they were unresponsive, even when I said it was a time sensitive issue and would not provide with someone to speak to about their mistake. It was easier for me to go through my own paperwork and accountant rather than rely on them to fix their own mistakes. If they don't know the # calling, they don't care.
