Pros

Corp policies and code of conduct is fair, compensation is pretty decent, but not top of the market. Many changes are occurring and there are opportunities fire those who want to put in the time, but they should plan on long hours, if they want to move up.

Cons

Many internal initiatives are under-funded or are supported widely at the executive level, allowing multiple solutions, workflows and databases to pop up like weed. This makes it difficult to accomplish goals that require sorry from other teams because there are either no standardized systems or they are under developed and employees are under trained in their utilization. Plus, years of layoffs have left the company spread critically understaffed in multiple area, requiring those who remain to pick up the slack. When be employees must be added, it's nearly impossible to open up a staff role, instead trying to freelance as many rooms as possible.

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
