For a corporate job, you could do a lot worse...

Pros

Large enough to offer a variety of opportunities (if you know people and can take advantage of them), as well as a really good benefits package - I don't think I know anyone else my age with a pension. As others have mentioned, it's a fairly lax environment with a "fun" corporate culture.

Cons

Promotions seem arbitrary and many departments never seem to promote anyone. Yet we are always receiving email notices about promotions in the more "glamorous" departments - production, development, ad sales, marketing, PR.

Pros

Strong brand, smart people, and a great location.

Cons

It's a big company. Not as big as some, but it feels unwieldy at points.

Pros

Mtv was so cool. We got to wear whatever classyish casual outift we wanted to. Every few weeks we would be excused from our duties for an hour to listen to a band. Celebrities were constantly dropping by for meetings. And you're working for a cool, hip, young network that actually can influence a generation.

Cons

For me the worst part was the Los Angeles Traffic- hello, 2 hour commute. But other than that as an intern you must obviously do all of the less than desired work load such as moving / packing boxes, organizing and mail duties--but none the less i loved the job
