      In Need of a Culture Shift - Director Paramount Employee Review

      Pros

      Good people and great brands.

      Cons

      Lack of strategic focus and leadership. An amalgamation of digital businesses that were acquired and focused on O&O and not content development. This also, unfortunately, has led to a very "bro" culture top down. The environment varies across CBS, but it is one that has a legacy of older and male, making it challenging for female leadership and attracting diverse talent. This is desperately needed in order to remain competitive and more so following the merger.

      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.
