Pros

The brand carries weight on a resume and when networking.

Cons

The brand's popularity makes the company feel that they can underpay and undervalue employees, hence the walkout by Freelance employees. Also if you are black and/or older, beware. Discrimination is abundant, and HR supports corrupt management. While they pimp your ride and bring dances from the 'hood, the people running those shows are white (when I was there), and they promote white interns over qualified black staff. The majority of menial labor is filled with blacks and Hispanics, while Asians and whites are promoted disproportionately.

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.
