Pros

For those with an entrepreneurial mindset, one can basically assemble and build their own vision. Also, the brand still has strong cache worldwide.

Cons

Everyone has their own vision and is competing for the same resources and tools, with little guidance from senior management. At this point in time, senior management doesn't understand the new complexities of the market place. So great ideas tend to die, and those execs who survive tend to be more politically savvy than talented businesspeople.

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.
