Paramount Response

Thanks so much for your feedback. We’re sorry you didn’t feel you had a chance for promotion during your time at CBS Interactive. We strive to offer employees opportunities for internal movement and promotion and hope all employees feel empowered to invest in their career growth while with us. A great perk of being a division within CBS Corporation is the immense opportunities for growth and exploration across not just our teams but also across other CBS owned divisions. Although we are part of CBS corporation, the interactive division strives to be at the forefront of digital media innovation as we continue to acquire new, leading edge divisions into our portfolio. So, although we are backed by our ‘corporate’ partners, we offer our employees the chance to work in a fast-paced, cutting edge environment.

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.
