Pros
The creative culture is really a great reason to work for MTV. One of the most important things for me when looking at a job is the people around you and they really are great people. I have the ability to do my work and always try to get involved in exciting new projects. If my bosses see my interest they get me involved and I appreciate it. Getting interested in other parts of the business and other projects has allowed me to be a valuable part of our group. It is a great place to work and you don't have to wear a suit!
Cons
Because of the economic downturn MTV cut 7% of its work force last month and there were rumors of another one coming. This is just making many people feel uncomfortable with their position. Other than that when the economy is good life is usually good. The pay is never great but is that the reason to work for this company? No. You work here for the people and the opportunity to get into different areas of the company. If you don't ask to get involved you may end up being left behind and bored. You make the job what it is.
