Pros

A good to have brand on your resume. You'll learn how to swim with sharks and learn how not to get eaten. Work with some of the smartest and creative individuals Diversity and adversity at the workplace

Cons

Culturally chaotic ( good for creative people not for business people) No work life balance Benefits across the board horrendous Work with alot of incompetent and distorted individuals Bureaucratic and depending on offices (country) pretty top down

Pros

If TV (not really music, ironically) is your thing then it doesn't really get much better than working for MTV. I worked through the ranks from PA to AP to Segment Producer and had a heck of time doing it. Fun environment, great people, exciting work....and if you're good at it and keep your producers happy there's plenty of room for growth.

Cons

Freelance...so you're working show to show. Not a huge problem if you're good at it and people like you but if either of those two things aren't the case...good luck!

Pros

Lots of hungry energetic employees out there trying to turn out the best possible product. There's a clear desire to be on the cutting edge.

Cons

Slow process time, great ideas become passe by the time the company has gone through enough red tape to create the product.
