Pros

- Learned a lot in streaming and gained tons of experience - Flexible work schedule - Decent starting pay (but doesn’t keep up)

Cons

- Was told several times by managers and directors that we would have promotions since we were now doing the jobs of both International and Domestic teams (we didn’t) - We see at most a 3% merit raise in our pay every year despite several teams being laid off - Managers see increased effort being done but they just say there isn’t anything they can do - We’re all extremely burnt out and underpaid

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.
