Pros

Despite the product over the past year or two, there are some really talented people who worked or still work for MySpace. If you can find them, make friends with them and you may learn a thing or two.

Cons

There was a time where you could see the passion for the product in all levels of the company. Today, that sense of unity, pride and passion is absent with a large majority of the staff and that attitude is reflected back into the product. While I said one of the pros for working there was that there are really talented people who work at MySpace, but with that comes the fact that there are also a lot of 'cooks in the kitchen' and projects once thought to be a 'game changer' are de-scoped weeks before its release.

Pros

MySpace was an awesome entry level job for me and I got to learn a great deal about the industry. There were tons of great coworkers, some nice perks including parties and concerts, and the excitement of working for the world's largest social network.

Cons

Things started to go downhill after a while, and it became clear that MySpace was just not nimble enough to keep up with rapidly gaining competitors. Perks slowly disappeared, some great managers were pushed out and replaced by less competent ones. By the time the big layoffs hit in 2009 the atmosphere was not recognizable compared to what it once was.
