Pros

- Camaraderie between co-workers is good - New office building provides space for "stretching your legs" and relaxing with co-workers - Bright, open layout is very modern and doesn't feel constrictive during your shift - Healthcare benefits are excellent and very affordable - Hard work and going "above and beyond" is definitely encouraged

Cons

- Hard work and going "above and beyond," despite being encouraged, often goes unrewarded. - Long hours at the office, and at home - Poor leadership from middle and senior managers - No clear direction for the company, with different strategies being implemented frequently - Very little opportunities for promotion; little to no promotion from within - Departments being bogged down with procedure, meetings that focus on minutiae

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.
