Pros

Health insurance and all-you-can-drink LaCroix

Cons

In my interview with HR I was promised a flexible work schedule with remote work, but was then told remote work should only be used when sick... (That's what sick days are supposed to be for?) The office has cool "vibes" upon first glance but it isn't fun or friendly. It felt like a gossipy sorority with forced happy hours. The turnover was extremely high.

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.
