Pros

Good people, unique opportunities for learning.

Cons

More employees are looking to quit than ever before. CBS Corporate is constantly eroding away the dot-com culture which once made CBSi a cool company. The new open layout makes deep focus very difficult and I believe this is having a significant impact for a lot of people, but it's impossible to measure at this point. Very high employee turnover means a lot of knowledge escapes, and when senior team members means 1+ years, it can be like the blind leading the blind.

We appreciate your feedback. We’re so grateful to hear that we have been able to provide you with learning opportunities unique to CBS Interactive. From trainings and ongoing evaluations of organizational structures, we work hard to ensure that our managers are good leaders for their teams. Although some turnover is expected for any company growing at the rate we are, we are disappointing to hear that you felt turnover and changing management affected your employment with us.

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
