The company has good intentions and many creative people but it needs a more mature vibe if it's going to last.

Associate producer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very relaxed atmosphere; good benefits if you're staff but not if you're freelance.

Cons

Too many freelance jobs; a lot of really lazy self-satisfied co-workers; though there were many talented and smart people too.

MTV Networks in Same Boat as Big 3; In need of massive creative destruction if the brand is to be salvaged.

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Future opportunities at other employers by leveraging the MTV experience. 2. Access to events and other professionals in the industry. 3. Opportunities to discover other creative peers, especially at the lower staff levels.

Cons

1. Very rigid job descriptions. 2. Poor information dissemination outside of non-traditional word of mouth networks. 3. Organizational structure and culture which has become non-receptive to creativity. 4. Lack of transparency in organizational decision-making, expectations and objectives creates culture of fear and instability at staff levels. 5. Preference for an out-dated/nostalgic view of the audience, even in the way audience research is conducted.

Great place to start a career in online media.

Sales manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work environment in the NY office, ample opportunity to learn about the online media industry and make contacts both internally and externally. While official training is minimal, being thrown in is a great way to learn quickly. Pretty much everyone is friendly and helpful for the most part.

Cons

There are plenty of frustrating inefficiencies that make it difficult to accomplish tasks quickly. Outdated backend systems, layers of bureaucracy, and poorly organized internal data are just a few of the obstacles in your way. I don't see any of these issues being unique to CBS Interactive though.
