Pros

the dress code is super laid back so most people wear jeans or leggings every day. the work day is really flexible, lots of people don't come in until 10 or 11. my bosses are really fun and open so i never feel like i can't ask questions or talk to them about concerns.

Cons

it's in the middle of times square so you have to deal with packs of tourists. but really, that's the only downside. i love everything else about mtv.

Pros

The standard perks of working with a global company with a good brand name for a resume are there for the taking. Good benefits, vacation time, and work life balance are all solid and can be slightly better than other media firms.

Cons

Politics run the organization. I have been promoted within the company but the key is having VPs vouch for your good work (even if they have never worked with you before). This is standard across all departments. Additionally the firm shows very little willingness to work towards their employees needs. Working from home is rarely an option and there is very little say in affairs until you reach a high level.

Pros

Good benefits package, excellent 401k.

Cons

I didn't like the way they changed our products & homogenized them into demographic buckets that didn't suit the products. We were a small property, & I don't think the higher-ups really had any idea what we did or how it happened.
