      Pros

      Amazing culture. Pretty led back management as long as you're getting your work done. Friendly and helpful senior engineers. Excellent work organization.

      Cons

      Uses some outdated development tools. Reluctance to try new technologies. Lose coding standards. Code reviews could use more eyes on them. People tend to be specialized too much into their section of the code base.

      Good place for the first couple of years in your career, but not if you want to go somewhere long term and grow...

      Pros

      Excellent work/life balance for the most part and schedules are very flexible depending on which team you are on. Deadlines are not too aggressive and there are virtually no requirements when it comes to appropriate workplace attire. Lots of team building events including picnics, movie outings, etc. Having CBS Interactive on your resume attracts the attention of other companies looking to fill positions.

      Cons

      Salary is below what other companies are offering for similar positions, especially after a couple of years experience under your belt. Criteria for promotions and advancement opportunities vary greatly from team to team and often seem to be based on who a manager's buddies are as opposed to performance on the job. Everyone seems to be protecting their turf, not allowing fresh blood to suggest improvements to existing processes because it is not the way it they do it.
