Bureaucratic and uninspiring

Pros

- Being able to say you work at MTV - Flexible work hours and super light work load frees up a lot of time to work on your own side projects. - Obnoxious corporate spending meant attending expensive conferences was no problem.

Cons

- Its bureaucratic structure bred a culture of terrible work ethic at every level. No one produces any actual work other than meeting agendas and 'To Do' lists. - Uninspiring projects and uninspiring leaders. - "Permalancing" - terrible pay, unpaid holidays, no benefits, tax violations.

Pros

It's not a shirt and tie kind of place. Your work is fairly autonomous in that you still have bosses and dead lines to meet but no one is hovering over you shoulder the entire day.

Cons

Home office is in San Francisco so sometimes it can feel like your disconnected from the goings on of the main office but it's not to prevalent.
