Pros

Leading position in numerous interactive content categories. Very large online footprint and platform. Very large broadcast (national TV, Local, TV, Outdoor) platform which allows enormous potential to expand and build online brands.

Cons

It's a relatively big organization with extensive and often overlapping initiatives.

Pros

It's overall a fun place to work. You get to watch TV as a part of your job, which is pretty cool as compared to many others. Also when networking, the name MTV Networks garners much interest.

Cons

Promotions are based more on personal relationships and less on hard work. They don't pay enough money for the work that's put in. The employees that work the hardest don't seem to reap any of the benefits that one would think would come with working at a place like MTV (tickets to shows, networking opportunities).

Pros

Great, fun people. Its a large organization with opportunities to move in different directions and to different brands within MTVN. The money can be okay, but you have to fight for it. The plans always seem to be changing, so you it helps to be proactive. Its also a great place for networking as you can meet people from other brands and plan for your future that way. The benefits are good and their are some nice perks from time to time. If you like a strong corporate vision from the top, than this is not a place for you!

Cons

Cloudy vision, terrible core organization, many people in very senior roles.
