      Pros

      The intelligent people that you work with and the strong position within the industry.

      Cons

      It really depends on which team you work with, but I think we have a great group of people here and dont see any downsides.

      I Want My MTV (to stop treating it's employees like dirt)

      Director, programming

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The atmosphere is very relaxed and you can dress however you want - which is great to foster individuality and boost morale. The work day usually starts around 10:00am - compared to the rest of the world that starts at 9:00am. As awful as the subject matter is these days, talking about MTV shows is still more fun than talking about stock losses, pharmaceuticals or paper.

      Cons

      The pay at MTV isn't even close to competitive. There is a sense of arrogance from senior management that assumes that people will work there for less money because "it's MTV". Unfortunately, they are right. MTV is also very unreliable. You can hear one thing on Monday and it won't be true by Wednesday. Also, the incidence of mediocre employees "failing upward" is staggering. The company is over-dependent on Perma-Lancers (long term freelance employees) but still treats them like crap by scaling back benefits and requiring them to leave after 9 months even when their services are still requried.

      MTV is like any other company

      Pros

      The atmosphere is great, the people are nice, just very difficult to feel like you matter in a company so big and large. The eomployees all tend to get a long with each other and it is a fun atmosphere. Hard to see how well your doing your job, and the interdepartmental communication lack a lot.

      Cons

      The pay is low. Hard to see how your doing. Not a lot of information goes down the latter. Everyone seems to be replaceable.
