Pros

Good benefits, upward mobility, casual environment. Summer Fridays.

Cons

It was a great company to work at in the 2000s but it has really declined in the past 7 years due to mismanagement. Managers can be clueless or like to blame everyone else but themselves. Pay hasn't kept up with the industry, and rumors of layoffs every month have kept morale 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.
