A deeply skeptical overview that has some seeds of hope.

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

For those with an entrepreneurial mindset, one can basically assemble and build their own vision. Also, the brand still has strong cache worldwide.

Cons

Everyone has their own vision and is competing for the same resources and tools, with little guidance from senior management. At this point in time, senior management doesn't understand the new complexities of the market place. So great ideas tend to die, and those execs who survive tend to be more politically savvy than talented businesspeople.

not a bad place to work

Pros

Fringe benefits like parties, events. You really feel the MTV culture when you go to one of their parties. They really meet up to the expectation of what an MTV party would be like. It's also a very laid-back place to work, casual dress.

Cons

Beginning pay is low; promotions take months to go through. The bureacracy is annoying.

Pros

No commute, flexible work environment, and ability to contribute is high if you work hard enough. But, if you are looking for a place with a 9-5 job where you can scoot out the door here like clockwork, you can do that too.

Cons

Management of business units is very inconsistent, therefore resulting in very different work experiences for employees who hold the same position. We have also lost some of our innovation culture, and a lot of the employee base seems to be very content just treading water.
