Pros

Free beer once a month. Occasional staff parties that, depending on your position and department, you might even have time to make it to. Lots of great and remarkably talented people, at least until they get headhunted by bigger companies willing to reward them for their hard work.

Cons

Very little investment in people or equipment, and when investment comes upper management seemingly prefers to invest from the top down. Lack of staff makes it nigh impossible to maintain a healthy work-life balance if you want your department to succeed.

Pros

Get to be involved with iconic brands and you will learn a lot about entertainment.

Cons

A very confused work environment with people who joined the company to work for the brand (MTV) it once was only to find an old school corporate environment. It leads to a very confused culture. Also, total lack of respect for others. Everyone is in CYA mode.

Pros

Big name company for your resume/good work experience

Cons

Being that MTVN is a very large company, it's no suprise that they are not very nimble. Progress is slow and ideas need to be heavily sold-in to management as there is a lot of resistance to change. If you are looking for a creative and smart environment, this is not it. Also, the pay is not competitive and raises are negligible.
