Pros

Note, I worked previously at Nickelodeon so this review applies to all of Viacom Digital and not just MTV. - great comprehensive benefits for FT staff and an annual bonus system. - flexible work arrangements ranging from shortened hours/weeks to tele-commuting from overseas - lots of amazing talented people - all the creative, business, and technical resources a huge company has to offer - tons of job options and opportunities to move between brands

Cons

- very difficult to get promoted inside the company. It's common for an employee to "bounce" to another company for a very short time and return to a different Viacom group in order to obtain the desired position(myself included). - the epitome of bureaucratic red tape throughout the entire company - endless internal groups can make navigating overly complex business requirements a nightmare - overall the company lags far behind in technological innovation - from my experience, a very weak and disorganized sales staff - digital salaries are below the industry standard - it's still primarily a TV company with inadequate emphasis placed on digital - bad attitudes and egos are prevalent in every department, particularly MTV. Constantly dealing with the "not my job" and "do as little as possible" attitudes is a challenge.

Pros

Not too sure about the pros. There were some people that seemed to make good money at the top and I guess the benefits were fine.

Cons

It is an big company with an incredible amount of red tape. Tons of interns and contractors. Not a lot of care for the staff. If you are in a subsidiary company it can be hard to get your voice heard. They are still thinking that regular TV and commercials is the future.
