Pros

Our Team Was Remarkably Capable and Resilient. There are many talented people across the company who are dedicated to a good mission. The DEI work is thoughtful and authentic

Cons

Leadership vision is completely lacking and pathetic Profit is ALWAYS prioritized over reach and impact— and it is not a winning strategy. The constant cuts are demoralizing and sometimes not needed when other strategies— like lowering outsized exec pay would be more effective HR and IT people try but systems are weak and ineffective. The amount of time spent navigating horrible, illogical systems is mind numbing The legal staff are capable but slow the wheels on almost anything that is innovative. Big lack of being able to sort forest from trees Innovation is almost non-existent. This is a ‘deathstar’ unfortunately

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.
