Pros

-The few times I actually got to have real hands on experience -Good pay for an internship -Nice employees who are helpful

Cons

My internship had a few issues, the main one being that there were 2 inters at the same time. I thought I would have the advantage, having started first, but that wasn't so. The second the new intern started in the same department, I was given the real "intern work". I got to remove staples from contracts and scan them, not much of an internship/learning opportunity. They would tell me they wanted to train me to do more things, but they seemed to not have the time. I know that they're busy, Viacom is a busy company, but don't have an intern if you can't give them real work to do that will help them advance and really get the full experience. Having 2 interns at the same time doesn't normally happen, from what I heard, but it was a mistake (that's another story for another review).

Pros

Fun to work for a company thats put out real work that everybody has seen

Cons

Huge company so there's no relationship to the company itself. Just a thick contract

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
