Pros

It's an iconic brand and company. Had a lull, but it has come roaring back. You feel as if you're at the center of the entertainment universe -- and you are. You're one of a large group of highly creative people, who at their best, stimulate each other.

Cons

Expect to work late into the night and on weekends. There are prima donnas. Stars are sometimes stars. You may be seen as a peon by some.

Pros

Relaxed and creative company culture Diverse group of brands (MTV, Comedy Central, Paramount Pictures, BET, VH1, CMT, TV Land, Spike, NIckelodeon) Great Perks

Cons

The Media industry is at an exciting cross roads. TV viewing habits have shifted towards various emerging platforms as well as towards TV viewing that is not as time senstive (e.g. DVRs). This can be both an opportunity and a risk.
