Pros

Nice coworkers if they are all on the same rung on the corporate ladder. Good benefits package. Lots of time off.

Cons

Nepotism all over. No upward mobility. Management doesn't listen and/or care. Salary is way below going rate for most positions. Constant fear of being laid off. Good workers aren't rewarded, instead they are given more responsibilities with no increase in salary. Same goes for people that get laid off. Instead of being replaced, they distribute the work amongst those who are left. No career path assistance. Constantly told there are no positions available. Company makes multi-million dollar cuts and yet the CEO gets a 19% salary increase.

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
