      MTV - nice to look at from the outside, but a different story from within.

      Pros

      the company name, which does impress others, there are some really nice people that I work with, the fact that the company touches upon so many aspects of media and content that there is much to learn here.

      Cons

      Incompetence of some senior mgmt, slow pace of progress on internal systems that would help manage the business, lots of office politics, the near invisibility of the Human Resources Dept...does anyone know who their HR rep is?

      Pros

      Being part of an internationally respected company that attracts smart, talented, positive people.

      Cons

      The youthfulness brings with it inexperience, and sometimes lack of professionalism.

      Pros

      It's a fun place to work - the people who work there are great and young-ish. The people are generally nice and work hard at what they do. The work can also be exciting and there is rarely a dull moment. Also, there can be opportunities to go to events, concerts, etc depending on the project.

      Cons

      The pay is low, the hours are long. The benefits (health,etc) are awful. Without a trust fund it is hard to sustain a decent standard of living on the wages/ salary in the city. Be prepared to lose your social life outside of work. Getting promoted to a "staff" position seems tedious and difficult to do. Many people (myself included) leave because of that.
