      Pros

      The brands are highly recognizable. This makes CBS Interactive (esp CNET) an attractive place as a stepping stone to a different company.

      Cons

      - No career advancement if you are at any point but just starting your career - Failure of senior leadership to grow middle managers - Poor employee recognition - Middle managers provide terrible leadership and are politically concerned to the point where they show little to no concern for direct reports (this is systemic, no group appears to be immune). - Product development is weak. There is no focus and senior management appears incapable of correcting this despite recognition of the problem.

      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.
