Pros

When the company was in it's prime, Viacom days, it was magical. The best experience in of my career.

Cons

When times changed, and people started to consume media differently, so did overall sentiment towards employees. Survived wave after wave of layoffs while CEO's received plush bonuses and salaries irrespective of how this would affect the the lower parts of the system. Hence, all others suffered with countless layoffs.

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.
