Pros

Good people and great brands.

Cons

Lack of strategic focus and leadership. An amalgamation of digital businesses that were acquired and focused on O&O and not content development. This also, unfortunately, has led to a very "bro" culture top down. The environment varies across CBS, but it is one that has a legacy of older and male, making it challenging for female leadership and attracting diverse talent. This is desperately needed in order to remain competitive and more so following the merger.

Paramount Response

At CBS Interactive we strive to create an inclusive culture that gives voice to many perspectives throughout the company with initiatives like Conscious Inclusion training for leaders and a greater focus on diversity in hiring. It’s important to us that our employees feel supported and empowered. If you would be interested in sharing more about your experience with us and continuing this conversation, we encourage you to send an email to talent-acquisition@cbsi.com.

Pros

Great place to start in the television industry, if you have the ability to learn quickly and follow instructions, you have a good chance of standing out and impressing a manager.

Cons

Much of the promotion process is based on making an impression on someone who can promote you. This is bad because many of the people in senior director or VP positions are not well trained in management, they are just people who have been in the company long enough to impress a boss or someone who promoted them, or they have played the politics game well enough to climb the ladder.
