Pros

Our Team Was Remarkably Capable and Resilient. There are many talented people across the company who are dedicated to a good mission. The DEI work is thoughtful and authentic

Cons

Leadership vision is completely lacking and pathetic Profit is ALWAYS prioritized over reach and impact— and it is not a winning strategy. The constant cuts are demoralizing and sometimes not needed when other strategies— like lowering outsized exec pay would be more effective HR and IT people try but systems are weak and ineffective. The amount of time spent navigating horrible, illogical systems is mind numbing The legal staff are capable but slow the wheels on almost anything that is innovative. Big lack of being able to sort forest from trees Innovation is almost non-existent. This is a ‘deathstar’ unfortunately

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
