Pros

its a lot of who you know and how you schmooze, office politics abound. Also the benefit package is the best I've ever seen _ take full advantage .HR needs constant calls (they are dealing with a LOT of employees) but keep after them and get what you deserve.

Cons

hard workers are for the most part ignored. but it is a good place to learn your chops and move on to a smaller place. Its very easy to get lost and go unnoticed, so make some noise, and get noticed!

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.
