Pros

A large company with great benefits. If you are fortunate enough to work for an area that is the "flavor of the day" you can have a really good experience.

Cons

As is often the case in large companies, you'll have to be "in" with the right people to get ahead. Joining the "boys club" is not easy at all. The company has changed a lot since the early days of MTV.

Pros

Understanding managers that have been there a long time, great location/office to work at

Cons

Socially a clicke-driven place and making co-worker friends here is like returning to high school dynamics.

Pros

Despite erosion over the years, the MTV brand remains strong. Great for resume. You get to work with some really creative and brilliant people.

Cons

You also get to work with people who manage to consistently fail upwards. Tension and discord are mistaken for creativity, sales pitches for ideas. Departments and the various MTVs are silo-d and are too busy competing with each other to compete with the real competition outside the company. Unless you're senior management, don't expect to have a life and a livable salary.
