Business outlook
Pros
Lots of creative, passionate, inspired colleagues at the staff level. Opportunities to network in the industry.
Cons
Out-dated, outmoded executive decision-making. People in senior management are dinosaurs in the industry and don't know how to capitalize on innovations in media, content development and distribution and brand positioning. Most decisions are made at the corporate (MTVN) level, which doesn't see the day-to-day reality of the MTV business or audience. They force dated thinking on staff, and expect staff to just follow-through without argument. The "culture of fear" referenced elsewhere on this board is alive and kicking, and it's sending good people out the door for better, less stressful opportunities.
