New York, NY

Current Employee – been working at MTV Networks as an intern for less than a year

ProsFun, hip and modern work place with a young demographic. Dress is casual and people seem interested in meeting others. Easy to be hired as an intern.

ConsLittle mobility within the company and limited benefits turn me off from this company. The atmosphere, while fun, can seem a bit unprofessional at times.

Santa Monica, CA

Former Employee – worked at MTV Networks as an intern for less than a year

ProsFun, young, energetic staff with a lot of good ideas. They don't take themselves too seriously, but do take their work very seriously. The work I did was not very "intern-y", and I was given responsibilities and trust in my capabilities.

ConsEasy to blend in because the company is so large, and you will be forgotten if you do not network and make sure people remember you.

Advice to Senior ManagementContinue to make interns feel valued and a useful part of the team.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at MTV Networks as an intern for less than a year
