Pros

Very nice people, a mix of millenials and folks in their 40's, 50s. Relaxed atmosphere with lots of perks, parties, ops to network. The company embraces its core values of accountability, integrity and creativity. New and exciting content is on the way per the last town hall meeting. It's looking better, looks like they're spending more money on writers & on-camera talent.

Cons

From where I'm sitting, there's no room for growth. But I heard of 2 or 3 promotions in the last year. The company definitely needs to move more aggressively into the digital landscape. I don't think the infighting among upper management over money and power right now is really helping the company move forward fast enough in this context. There needs to be a stronger focus on the company's short and long-term goals rather than on who deserves to inherit the bulk of Sumner Redstone's wealth/power. It's a shame that it's come to the point that a piece of Paramount has to be sold to pay the bills.

Pros

- 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

Cons

- 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
