Pros

CBS is a casual work environment and the Interactive division has retained some of its .com roots. The engineering teams do have some very bright and motivated individuals.

Cons

The parent CBS company is clueless as to how to run an Internet company. Every project is pathetically under resourced. The sites are falling behind the progression of the Internet and are so heavily loaded with ads the user experience awful.

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.
