Pros

It is a hip, fast paced environment that is truly run by the inmates. Employees are king and while management is doing its best to run the company into the ground people still love working there. The work life balance is great there and they really take into account that we are all people. The perks are also great - free access to all the shows and tvs in the offices. They work hard to make people glad to work there and at least until recent times the morale was fantastic as a result. I think it is still a great place to work but needs some help.

Cons

Like I said, I think that the senior folks have been there too long and need to turn over...the company could do much more with what it has and with the employee dedication to the success. They are not great communicators and the digital areas are a great example - when I worked there there were multiple digital strategies and people working, sometimes at cross purposes. Getting everyone on the same page would help but in protecting the individual brands the management doesn't want any kind of centralized control. MTVN operates like multiple separate businesses versus one company, which makes any centralized roles challenging.
