CBS Interactive UK is a good place to work, and better than the competition.

Pros

The London office is a well designed office that people love to visit. I'm paid a lot better as a journalist than other employers would pay me. The staff are all friendly and some are genuinely talented. There are quarterly parties, and pay day beers.

Cons

A good deal of the workforce are unfriendly and generally receptive to new ideas. The upper management makes little effort to regularly update the workforce on what's happening in the business.

I Want My MTV (to stop treating it's employees like dirt)

Director, programming

Business Outlook

Pros

The atmosphere is very relaxed and you can dress however you want - which is great to foster individuality and boost morale. The work day usually starts around 10:00am - compared to the rest of the world that starts at 9:00am. As awful as the subject matter is these days, talking about MTV shows is still more fun than talking about stock losses, pharmaceuticals or paper.

Cons

The pay at MTV isn't even close to competitive. There is a sense of arrogance from senior management that assumes that people will work there for less money because "it's MTV". Unfortunately, they are right. MTV is also very unreliable. You can hear one thing on Monday and it won't be true by Wednesday. Also, the incidence of mediocre employees "failing upward" is staggering. The company is over-dependent on Perma-Lancers (long term freelance employees) but still treats them like crap by scaling back benefits and requiring them to leave after 9 months even when their services are still requried.
