The name of the brand, MTV is pretty much why you are working there. It's a flexible and fun company.

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

Great, fun people. Its a large organization with opportunities to move in different directions and to different brands within MTVN. The money can be okay, but you have to fight for it. The plans always seem to be changing, so you it helps to be proactive. Its also a great place for networking as you can meet people from other brands and plan for your future that way. The benefits are good and their are some nice perks from time to time. If you like a strong corporate vision from the top, than this is not a place for you!

Cons

Cloudy vision, terrible core organization, many people in very senior roles.
