Pros

Working at MTV is like earning experience in dog years - and not just because they work you like a dog. You really get put out there, sink or swim often times, and that experience within a major media conglomerate such as VIACOM will serve you well in your next career moves. On a whole, the people here are amazing personally, very talented professionally. MTVN seemed to really worked to hire robust groups of talent internally as opposed to outsourcing. A lot of partying. whoo-hoo.

Cons

Under compensation. Look, while I don't have proof, I'm nearly certain that there is an HR formula that lobs off around 15% salary for Director and below. You have to be able to balance the experience, with the lack of $$$...

Pros

The environment. The people you meet and work with. Very laid back atmosphere. Wear whatever you want. Very accepting of differences in lifestyles, personalities, race, gender, sexual preference. If you'd like to skateboard down the hallway, thats fine. Lots of playfulness, joking & pranks. Coworkers become extended family. Its full of brillliant and creative people.

Cons

Salary. Being overworked. Having to fight for promotion & recognition. Too many projects results in lack of communication. People take business personally. Did I mention Salary?
