Pros

Having MTV on your resume helps, no doubt. The pay is good. There are cool perks like VMA's, etc, if you are into that.

Cons

Fake, cut-throat environment. Colleagues are generally not the brightest and are wayyyy to into working for MTV. Just a thankless, soulless place to work.

For a corporate job, you could do a lot worse...

Pros

Large enough to offer a variety of opportunities (if you know people and can take advantage of them), as well as a really good benefits package - I don't think I know anyone else my age with a pension. As others have mentioned, it's a fairly lax environment with a "fun" corporate culture.

Cons

Promotions seem arbitrary and many departments never seem to promote anyone. Yet we are always receiving email notices about promotions in the more "glamorous" departments - production, development, ad sales, marketing, PR.

Not a great place to work for the little people.

Pros

Free beer once a month. Occasional staff parties that, depending on your position and department, you might even have time to make it to. Lots of great and remarkably talented people, at least until they get headhunted by bigger companies willing to reward them for their hard work.

Cons

Very little investment in people or equipment, and when investment comes upper management seemingly prefers to invest from the top down. Lack of staff makes it nigh impossible to maintain a healthy work-life balance if you want your department to succeed.
