Pros

Good benefits, nice HR department, delicious coffee in the lobby. Fun events-

Cons

Poor management- No training or time dedicated to new hires- Teams do not interact with one another- everyone is in a silo There was literally a time I was screamed at because a program was broken on my manager's computer?! How does that make any sense...

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We agree, our coffee is delicious! But, we are disheartened to hear that you felt there was a lack of support from management during your time at CBSi. We also fully agree that it takes certain qualities to be a great manager. With this in mind, our learning team has taken these qualities into consideration when developing several manager specific training sessions over the past year. Although we are disappointed that your experience didn’t align with our standards, we appreciate the feedback and will take your comments into consideration as we continually improve.

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
