Pros

creativity is encouraged...some high level management are a DREAM to work for, opportunity to do everything. Freelance is well compensated. Amazing place to build resume.

Cons

barely anyone is staff. Benefits for freelancers is going in the toilet. If you don't know w manager well, it's tough to get in on projects. People who should have left LONG ago are still in positions of authority. They treat the freelancers like second hand citizens

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.
