Pros

Work life balance/ Vacation time, benefits good, salary good.

Cons

Highly political and inefficient. Managers who have been here for 7+ years don't really seem to care much. People stay in their current roles or get promoted because of their political connections and friends. You can be a terrible manager/director but will eventually be promoted or stay at their level because of who they are friends with or because they'e been here for a while. Morale is low. It makes total sense why companies like Google are dominating the market as there is a complete lack of technological innovation and antiquated processes. Processes are slow, people reluctant to change. Directors/ VPs out of touch with what occurs on a day to day basis. Very traditional hierarchy with minimal transparency and accountability.

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.
