Paramount reviews

MTV Networks has an outstanding reputation, first and foremost, and I mean this from a resume perspective. I've had numerous employers, network contacts, and recruiters reach out to me based on this job alone--even if the actual work I performed was not as impressive as some of the other things I've done in my career. I think it always helps, whether you want to go work at a startup or go back into the corporate game one day, and I would have to say to make the most of your time while you are there, networking and forming connections. As far as the salary goes, and I know everyone hears different things, I think the salary was pretty fair. The freelance rates are actually quite good I feel and certainly competitive with the industry. From a big media company perspective, I'd say they are right in the middle with Disney probably worse paying, and News Corp slightly better, but again, I don't have salaries for the entire organization, just myself, my friends, my employees and what recruiters tell me. The company is pretty fun overall, and relaxed. There is a good family atmosphere and a culture of promoting from within. The benefits are pretty solid. There are discounts are retailers, and occasional free tickets, and music and other swag. Good cafeteria as well (at the Time Square location).

Great people all around. Working on very interesting content across the board. Fun place to work given the dynamic nature of the work and people. Friends and family can almost always associate with one of the MTV Networks brands, so having conversations about what you work on is always engaging. Generally pretty good hours and people are very reasonable and polite when working together.
