Pros

It's a very trendy, hip and cool place to work!

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement and compensation is below par. Also, respect is hard to come by around here.

Pros

Great brands and great people to work with. mtv, comedy, nickelodeon are all the best of breed and will be successful for years to come. most employees are thoughtful, creative and motivated which makes the work environment inspirational most of the time. the location is terrible and times square is the worst place to work, walk, breathe, etc. on the planet. the general environment is laid back and you can wear almost anything you want at any time

Cons

Lots of politics and lack of vision from senior management. people are very petty . the office space is terrible on most of the floors

Pros

I can only speak for the Global Digital Media Group, which works cross-channel for all of MTV Networks, but the best thing is the lack of egos among upper management (I hear things are different within specific channels). Management are very good to employees. There is a relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels they can be themselves and have a voice.

Cons

Bureaucracy, bureaucracy, bureaucracy. It's a big company, what can you do? The flagship brand is suffering due to the loss of it's original image as an innovator. Fear of taking risks -- conservatism. Did I mention bureaucracy?
