Pros

Media giant, tons of high-level properties to work on. You get the prestige of working for MTV, Nickelodeon and other of the high profile brands. One of the biggest content creators. Projects are trend setting and innovative.

Cons

Very big, very corporate. Politics play a big role, Silos and connections are everything to get ahead. Very often the best people are not the ones who get the key positions as they are not the best connected. Talented people carry a lot of dead weight from people who don't add value.

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.
