Pros

The team, and only the team, was great.

Cons

Working at Paramount has been a challenging experience. The atmosphere is toxic, and it often feels like no one values your loyalty or the effort you put into your work. Despite consistently delivering strong performance, there’s little recognition or support from management. The constant threat of layoffs creates an environment where you never feel secure. It’s disheartening to know that your job could be at risk at any moment. Additionally, the workload is overwhelming—it's common to find yourself handling the responsibilities of two or three people without any acknowledgment or adjustment in compensation. Unfortunately, discussions about salary reviews are almost non-existent, even for those who excel in their roles. Overall, I do not feel comfortable or safe here, and I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for a supportive and stable work environment.

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.
