Good company to work for but...

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is really young and they are very open to new ideas.

Cons

There's not a lot of room for advancement, you really have to leave the company and then come back in order to move up the ranks which is somewhat frustrating. If you're young, you're not going to get a staff position and you end up being stuck as a permalancer and that sucks because just because you're young it doesn't mean that you don't want health insurance and a retirement plan. Sometimes things are pretty disorganized as well and that's a bit frustrating too

Good, but definitely some red flags.

Pros

Overall, CBS Interactive is a good place to work. The benefits and pay are competitive and the vacation/holidays are standard. Depending on the division and department you work for, there may be professional department opportunities by means of training and/or attending conventions. The culture is laid back and the company has some "start-up" characteristics (in relation to dress, formalities, etc.), even though it is under CBS Corporation.

Cons

The biggest downside is the lack of career advancement. Moving up the ranks either takes good timing. Simply put, management does not have a clear road map for employees' careers. They appear to like to hire outside the company when a mid-to-upper level manager position needs to be filled. In addition, policies and structure that squash innovation are starting to take hold. Fear of taking risks by management could potentially place the company in a worse situation.

Has MTVN lost it's Soul or just the faith of it's employees?

Pros

The Benefits package is good and the general staff are a great bunch to work with

Cons

The organization is turning more and more "corporate". I think this company is slowly losing it's soul. This used to be a creative place focused on making the most inovative and interesting entertainment in the world. Now it's just trying to meet the bottom line. Noone cares any longer how we get there only that the stockholders are happy. When I was young (I was tuned in when Video Killed the Radio Star appeared) MTV was the voice of a generation. Considering the programming it's transmitting, what is that voice saying now?
