Pros

opportunity for advancement if you play your cards right. lots of holes to fill thus the opportunity. many decisions are made on the fly so this dynamic allows you to provide a lot of input if you can think on your feet

Cons

the overall strategy for the company has been lacking for years. in such a fluid environment as entertainment is right now, it leaves the company wanting. the much publicized human resource debacle have played a large role in the decline of morale in this company. because there is less innovation here than there has been in the past talent is declining.

Pros

People who were at Paramount before the Skydance merger remain talented and amazing people.

Cons

The post-Skydance merger Paramount is an aimless corporate with zero resources, and respect for existing employees. Senior management are coming from Disney, and they’re hiring all their previous Disney colleagues, while laying off employees that have been at Paramount through ages. There has also been a shift in demographics where White men control the power. It’s disheartening to see amazing legacy leadership get demoted and sidelined in favor of incoming White male leaders from Disney. The new senior management will say things like, “We want to invest in people that will stay with us and grow,” yet layoff an entire division that have kept this company running through all the transitions. The disrespect is just ridiculous.
