Pros

opportunity for advancement if you play your cards right. lots of holes to fill thus the opportunity. many decisions are made on the fly so this dynamic allows you to provide a lot of input if you can think on your feet

Cons

the overall strategy for the company has been lacking for years. in such a fluid environment as entertainment is right now, it leaves the company wanting. the much publicized human resource debacle have played a large role in the decline of morale in this company. because there is less innovation here than there has been in the past talent is declining.

Pros

Leading position in numerous interactive content categories. Very large online footprint and platform. Very large broadcast (national TV, Local, TV, Outdoor) platform which allows enormous potential to expand and build online brands.

Cons

It's a relatively big organization with extensive and often overlapping initiatives.

Pros

It's overall a fun place to work. You get to watch TV as a part of your job, which is pretty cool as compared to many others. Also when networking, the name MTV Networks garners much interest.

Cons

Promotions are based more on personal relationships and less on hard work. They don't pay enough money for the work that's put in. The employees that work the hardest don't seem to reap any of the benefits that one would think would come with working at a place like MTV (tickets to shows, networking opportunities).
