Pros

Salary and health insurance. There are no other pros with CBS Interactive.

Cons

No work culture at TV City location, no career growth, raises occur only because employees going union, managers have no experience with final cut, adobe premiere, media composer or various software and hardware tools needed for digital media needs of EST and VOD partners but will advise on file creation, manipulation, and transcoding. In many cases, employees are performing managerial work but not compensated properly. When you have constantly written to CBS Interactive HR about current managers and directors creating a hostile work environment, inappropriately touching male and female employees, purposefully holding back pertinent training and policies that impact employee work performed and daily schedules, managers having outbursts at work making employees cry in front of other employees. All deemed, "Appropriate and does not fall outside professional behavior," you really need to look elsewhere. As everyone is told when you exit, "We will investigate the issue." But when you are the 4th employee to exit due to horrendous working conditions, culture, management, and an HR group what will do all it can to make sure employees are constantly kept in the dark about their own career growth and potential, you know where you tend to stand in the whole scheme of the organization.

Thanks for the review, we appreciate your feedback regarding your time at CBSi. It is disappointing to hear that you felt there weren’t possibilities for career growth and promotion. It is also concerning to hear your note regarding your experiences with management and HR as this is in no way representative of the values and culture permeated from the CBSi executive team. We take your feedback seriously and would like to hear more. Please get in touch with our ombudsperson, via CBS OpenLine, where you can call or email to share your experience. The CBS OpenLine is at 1-877-CBS-0888 (1-212-975-9913) or CBSOnline@cbs.com.

Pros

- Benefits - At the Digital Specialist, Account Manager, and Account Executive level the people are mostly incredible to work with internally - Most AEs are able to have their own offices, which helps significantly to drown out the noise of senior management

Cons

- CEO / Culture post Skydance merger: I never thought I would ever be in a position where I would want to leave a company because of the people. But that is starting to become the case. ELT/SLT does not care about the culture, hard workers, or rewarding loyalty. They will treat you like a number because the only thing anyone cares about (and its so apparent more than ever) is the bottom line. - Compensation and values - working for Viacom and CBS / ViacomCBS / Paramount before Skydance actually felt like it meant something. Now, no one knows if we're even valued and more often than not we're made to feel like every day of our lives here we have to prove our value over and over again. You never genuinely feel safe or comfortable here because there's going to be layoffs every 6 months. Other tech companies will give better compensation - Paramount needs to up their game if they don't want to continue losing their best talent. - You're literally just a number here. The company does not reward hard work or loyalty so it's best to just watch your own back because no one will have it here. They have let go of the best leaders that I've ever come across and have kept toxic egos only because they know how to play the toxic game that working here has become
