Pluspunten

The atmosphere is very relaxed and you can dress however you want - which is great to foster individuality and boost morale. The work day usually starts around 10:00am - compared to the rest of the world that starts at 9:00am. As awful as the subject matter is these days, talking about MTV shows is still more fun than talking about stock losses, pharmaceuticals or paper.

Minpunten

The pay at MTV isn't even close to competitive. There is a sense of arrogance from senior management that assumes that people will work there for less money because "it's MTV". Unfortunately, they are right. MTV is also very unreliable. You can hear one thing on Monday and it won't be true by Wednesday. Also, the incidence of mediocre employees "failing upward" is staggering. The company is over-dependent on Perma-Lancers (long term freelance employees) but still treats them like crap by scaling back benefits and requiring them to leave after 9 months even when their services are still requried.

Pluspunten

- Benefits - At the Digital Specialist, Account Manager, and Account Executive level the people are mostly incredible to work with internally - Most AEs are able to have their own offices, which helps significantly to drown out the noise of senior management

Minpunten

- CEO / Culture post Skydance merger: I never thought I would ever be in a position where I would want to leave a company because of the people. But that is starting to become the case. ELT/SLT does not care about the culture, hard workers, or rewarding loyalty. They will treat you like a number because the only thing anyone cares about (and its so apparent more than ever) is the bottom line. - Compensation and values - working for Viacom and CBS / ViacomCBS / Paramount before Skydance actually felt like it meant something. Now, no one knows if we're even valued and more often than not we're made to feel like every day of our lives here we have to prove our value over and over again. You never genuinely feel safe or comfortable here because there's going to be layoffs every 6 months. Other tech companies will give better compensation - Paramount needs to up their game if they don't want to continue losing their best talent. - You're literally just a number here. The company does not reward hard work or loyalty so it's best to just watch your own back because no one will have it here. They have let go of the best leaders that I've ever come across and have kept toxic egos only because they know how to play the toxic game that working here has become
