Interviewed Apr 2011 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
You will go through a preliminary phone interview, then have several interviews (phone and in person) with people you could potentially work under. The overall atmosphere here is relaxed and laid back, but they are still looking for professional and experience people. They are helpful and offer insight into making it to the next step of the process.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
Well, last year I did the basic HR phone interview then met with someone in Vh1 a couple weeks after. Interview went well, I guess. She was really laid back, but I never even heard from her. HR actually emailed me an told me they chose someone else.
However, THIS year, went GREATLY! MTV was at my school for a career expo, but I had already applied online also, and I gave the representative my resume, and she seemed thrilled. The next day she gave me an email and told me to choose a department. One thing led to another, I had an interview with VH1. I was told about 2 weeks, and in 2 weeks, i got the offer! Process was much smoother this time!

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
The process for me consisted of a 1 on 1 interview with the supervisor of the department. She said she would get back to me in about a week since she had to interview a few other candidates before making a decision. The atmosphere seemed pretty laid back and MTV seemed like a fun working environment.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Santa Monica, CA (took 2 weeks)
I submitted my application, received a file via email from HR to fill out about a week later, then about a week later the interview process started. I received a phone interview from an HR intern, and a few days after that, a phone call from my department supervisor about coming in for an interview. The interview was held in a conference room with a panel of employees but was not intimidating; everyone is very friendly and helpful. Be confident, give a firm handshake, and be professional yet friendly and relatable- MTV is not stuffy! Dress stylishly, business casual.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took 4 days)
The pre-interview set up was very easy and clear. The interview itself went very well and was told I would receive a decision within the next couple of days, no matter what (whether positive or negative.) It has been over three weeks of e-mailing the interviewer, and I have not heard back yet.
In my eyes, that screams "unprofessional" and it is sad to see such a powerful company be very sneaky about their hiring process. It is much harder to not hear back from anyone than to just SIMPLY receive an e-mail declining a job offer. No job-seeker should have to go through this, especially in times like these where it is almost impossible to even land a job interview.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 4 weeks)
the HR department screened applicants with a phone interview, mostly consisting of behavioral question and walking them through your resume. they'll then place you in the appropriate department and the person from that department will directly interview you. Questions are mostly behavioral, nothing too unexpected.

Applied online then met with Human Resources. After meeting Human Resources, I met with every member of the team including the person I was replacing. The process was quite simple and quick. I was offered the job in less than a week and started promptly after.

It was a very simple interview. I spoke with my soon-to-be intern supervisor and she asked me how my experiences related to the specific internship.
