Pros

Great place to learn about the online advertising industry and explore the different types of roles available in the space (Sales, Product Marketing, Programmatic, Product Management, HR, Accounting, Vendors, Billing, etc).

Cons

Very much like a high school environment, if you're in the "in" crowd then you can get promoted faster. It's not promotions based on merit. It is an incredibly cliquey office that lacks the culture of helping each other out. The office also allows unprofessional behaviors of employees, such as yelling at other department employees, both in emails and in person.

Thank you for the feedback. It is great to hear that you were able to explore different roles while you were here. As a company with 30+ different brands and divisions, we are proud of the fact that our employees can learn and explore different areas throughout the company. I am sorry to hear about your experience in office. The executive and HR teams have a zero-tolerance policy for unprofessional or disrespectful behavior in the workplace so I apologize that this scenario was not brought to their attention. We want all employees to feel valued and that there are resources available to support you so again, we apologize that this scenario was not stopped. I am also sorry to hear that you felt promotions were not based on merit. I assure you that we are an equal opportunity company and internal merit and promotion discussions are based on work performance.

Pros

If you like to work and are committed, you can work at CBS interactive. However dont expect anything in return other than salary.

Cons

Lots of politics. They do not encourage or identify talent within the company. They promote people who are known to the upper management.
