Pros

- Great communication and organization among direct team - Major entertainment news company - great place to learn

Cons

- Once CBSi merged with CBS and became Paramount, the quality of the workplace went down. We lost all of our benefits, were switched to an awful health insurance plan, and were worked harder because many people were let go or quit. - They no longer offer Paramount+ to employees, took away 401k matching, took away unlimited PTO and summer Fridays, and have a new very bizarre and very strict WFH policy - upper management lacks communication and often has unreasonable expectations for their staff - No room for upward mobility/ Went 2+ years without getting a bonus or raise. CEO sent a company-wide email telling us we would not get raises to match inflation - Executives and talent foster a toxic work environment

Huge company so there's no relationship to the company itself. Just a thick contract

Pros

- Benefits - At the Digital Specialist, Account Manager, and Account Executive level the people are mostly incredible to work with internally - Most AEs are able to have their own offices, which helps significantly to drown out the noise of senior management

Cons

- CEO / Culture post Skydance merger: I never thought I would ever be in a position where I would want to leave a company because of the people. But that is starting to become the case. ELT/SLT does not care about the culture, hard workers, or rewarding loyalty. They will treat you like a number because the only thing anyone cares about (and its so apparent more than ever) is the bottom line. - Compensation and values - working for Viacom and CBS / ViacomCBS / Paramount before Skydance actually felt like it meant something. Now, no one knows if we're even valued and more often than not we're made to feel like every day of our lives here we have to prove our value over and over again. You never genuinely feel safe or comfortable here because there's going to be layoffs every 6 months. Other tech companies will give better compensation - Paramount needs to up their game if they don't want to continue losing their best talent. - You're literally just a number here. The company does not reward hard work or loyalty so it's best to just watch your own back because no one will have it here. They have let go of the best leaders that I've ever come across and have kept toxic egos only because they know how to play the toxic game that working here has become
