MySpace reviews

It's hard to say what the "best reasons" are to work for myspace. in all honesty, i'd have to say it's good to know your paycheck will arrive and clear because we work for fox, and not a fledgling startup. the culture at myspace is relaxed, another perk, as fox appears to leave us alone. most employees are young, hard working, competent and bright. the name recognition is cool, but more and more i find myself on the receiving end of a litany of myspace complaints as people tell me why they left myspace for facebook. still, myspace might be a sinking ship, but it's still a pretty pleasant ship to ride. if you're smart, and you put yourself out there, you can move around pretty easily and grow career wise. don't forget: young companies afford opportunities you'd have to wait 10 years for at a more established company.

In it's infancy, MySpace was a great place to work. There was a great balance with product and strategy, and it appeared that there was a clear vision of where the company was headed. Additionally, due to the notoriety of being the largest social network company (at it's time), it was a great resume piece, as well as made for great conversation with chief marketers of large brands.
