Pros

The atmosphere at MTV is laid-back and depending on which department or group you work for, the hours can be very flexible. One great thing about the company is the encouragement of a work/life balance. The company also contributes back to the community by offering a company-wide volunteer day. Human Resources provides opportunity to have health screenings, blood drives, and employee movie screenings. The people at MTV are very chill and easy going. As far as work goes, in my current position, I had exposure to many different departments and business verticals. The company is enormous and it is very interesting to see how everything ties together, from the production of a show to the international distribution of rights.

Cons

A major downside is the low compensation and the 10% bonus is only met if the company has made a profit. However, the hours are flexible and there is flex friday in the summer. Which means that you can get every other friday off or off early.

Pros

People who were at Paramount before the Skydance merger remain talented and amazing people.

Cons

The post-Skydance merger Paramount is an aimless corporate with zero resources, and respect for existing employees. Senior management are coming from Disney, and they’re hiring all their previous Disney colleagues, while laying off employees that have been at Paramount through ages. There has also been a shift in demographics where White men control the power. It’s disheartening to see amazing legacy leadership get demoted and sidelined in favor of incoming White male leaders from Disney. The new senior management will say things like, “We want to invest in people that will stay with us and grow,” yet layoff an entire division that have kept this company running through all the transitions. The disrespect is just ridiculous.
