Business outlook
Pros
Young, creative staff and atmosphere. Flexible work hours. Casual dress code and work environment. Liberal benefits packages. The Human Resources department is very professional. Usually a fun place to work, especially if you like pop culture. Lots of art-school types all over the company, which will make you feel right at home if you're a creative type.
Cons
Too much bureacracy and politics. MTV (the cable network) dominates all others to the detriment of the other channels in the company. You will only advance through aggressive self-promotion -- there is no training or career development. Not for those older than 45 or so, unless you're in a senior position.
