Pros

There are some really awesome and brilliant people who work there in middle management depending on what team you're on. Also, some of the stories and projects we get to work on can be a ton of fun.

Cons

There was no respect at a certain level for quality. People would kill themselves to make something awesome, only for other folks to simply not care and have very little desire to make it something quality. The race to the bottom was apparent. It was sad to watch the ship go down.

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.
