Pros

The Benefits package is good and the general staff are a great bunch to work with

Cons

The organization is turning more and more "corporate". I think this company is slowly losing it's soul. This used to be a creative place focused on making the most inovative and interesting entertainment in the world. Now it's just trying to meet the bottom line. Noone cares any longer how we get there only that the stockholders are happy. When I was young (I was tuned in when Video Killed the Radio Star appeared) MTV was the voice of a generation. Considering the programming it's transmitting, what is that voice saying now?

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.
