Pros

The only pro I can think of from my time there was the perks.

Cons

Perks keep you from realizing how toxic the environment can be and noticing the lack of career opportunities. This would be different in the MTV office, but that would require 3 hours of commuting a day. So, unless you're an engineer, your only real opportunities exist in MTV. The Austin office's culture is particularly negative, cutthroat, and hostile to women and minorities, as most tech companies are. Management rewards only people they personally like and hang out with. Deviant personalities are punished in the form of stagnation.

Pros

No beating around the Bush. You do well, you're recognized and compensated well. You cannot portray something that you didn't do.

Cons

You need to brand yourself. Sometimes people will over brand themselves. Lots of fossils which may demotivate you. However, some experienced people are the smartest ones around.

Pros

High salary and benefits. You are part of top brand.

Cons

You have to dedicate your life to the job. Work life balance totally unbalanced. You are expected to work about 10 hours per day. Some managers bully on employees.
