I worked at MTV Networks as an intern for less than a year
Pros – Very prestigous name on your resume. The connections you make are valuable and easy to stay in touch and network. The people are really kind, for the most part, sometimes snooty. Really casual, laid back atmosphere. Senior management is really awesome!
Cons – You don't get to sit in on any meetings or do anything exciting. You restock the fridge and get bagels and food from the food trucks for people. A lot of assistants cry and secretly dislike each other. BUT you'll survive.
Advice to Senior Management – Try to involve the interns more. Burning disks and getting food is fun, but so is learning.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at MTV Networks as an intern
Pros – As a designer, fun projects.
Cons – No sense of company culture ro community, and no appreciation for its employees. You are a cog in the machine, alongside thousands of employees working to add "MTV" to their resume. Little appreciation ro recognition; you are a nobody. It is inexcusable for internships to be unpaid, at such a massive company.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at MTV Networks as an intern for less than a year
Pros – Fun, hip and modern work place with a young demographic. Dress is casual and people seem interested in meeting others. Easy to be hired as an intern.
Cons – Little mobility within the company and limited benefits turn me off from this company. The atmosphere, while fun, can seem a bit unprofessional at times.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I worked at MTV Networks as an intern for less than a year
Pros – Fun, young, energetic staff with a lot of good ideas. They don't take themselves too seriously, but do take their work very seriously. The work I did was not very "intern-y", and I was given responsibilities and trust in my capabilities.
Cons – Easy to blend in because the company is so large, and you will be forgotten if you do not network and make sure people remember you.
Advice to Senior Management – Continue to make interns feel valued and a useful part of the team.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
