Pros

The atmosphere at MTV is laid-back and depending on which department or group you work for, the hours can be very flexible. One great thing about the company is the encouragement of a work/life balance. The company also contributes back to the community by offering a company-wide volunteer day. Human Resources provides opportunity to have health screenings, blood drives, and employee movie screenings. The people at MTV are very chill and easy going. As far as work goes, in my current position, I had exposure to many different departments and business verticals. The company is enormous and it is very interesting to see how everything ties together, from the production of a show to the international distribution of rights.

Cons

A major downside is the low compensation and the 10% bonus is only met if the company has made a profit. However, the hours are flexible and there is flex friday in the summer. Which means that you can get every other friday off or off early.

Pros

creativity is encouraged...some high level management are a DREAM to work for, opportunity to do everything. Freelance is well compensated. Amazing place to build resume.

Cons

barely anyone is staff. Benefits for freelancers is going in the toilet. If you don't know w manager well, it's tough to get in on projects. People who should have left LONG ago are still in positions of authority. They treat the freelancers like second hand citizens

Pros

I liked the location and the building is really nice. I also liked the snack room with $.25 drinks and a snack machine with food. I found coworkers to be responsive and care about doing a good job.

Cons

Lack of communication around changes going on because of the CBS Corp acquisition. I am not sure management really has a clear direction around priorities.
