Interviewed Jun 2011 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
Very fast process - they were gearing up for a show and needed people fast. I fit the bill, they accepted my rate - and we went full speed ahead. I started a week later.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in New York, NY (took 4 days)
I applied online and got an interview email. It just took 1 day to setup an interview . The process was pretty fast. I had an interview with The supervisor and she was very sweet and cordial. First interview of,y life. Went really swift. I was asked about my academics and academic projects and my interests. Thats its. Got the answer right there. I had a chance to ask about the ongoing projects and what would i be working on. Was given a department tour and introduced to everyone. Everyone was very humble and nice. And the HR process was also very swift and everything was done in a few days.

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 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 Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
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.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I received initial contact with MTV through a connection and was brought in for an interview the next day. I spoke with six people, all at individual times (one HR representative and five people in the marketing department). I had great conversations with all of them, but it was very repetitive; by the end of the three hour interview, I had talked about the experience on my resume too many time to count. Seemed like a great company to work for though --- long hours, but relaxed work culture.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
Interview took a long time. I had my first ph interview and they asked me a few pre-screening questions. Then I had my second interview for an intern position. They asked me about my college and work experience. Very easy. Then I was never called back and finally after calling them and leaving many messages I received a different position within the company.
