Pros

the company name, which does impress others, there are some really nice people that I work with, the fact that the company touches upon so many aspects of media and content that there is much to learn here.

Cons

Incompetence of some senior mgmt, slow pace of progress on internal systems that would help manage the business, lots of office politics, the near invisibility of the Human Resources Dept...does anyone know who their HR rep is?

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.
