Pros

The benefits were the best thing about the job.

Cons

Everything else. Zero work-life balance, overworked, management tells you you're not good enough no matter how much work you do or how many obstacles you clear in your daily tasks. There are no perks to working there, you have to plead your case for months just to get a new coffee maker for your department. The company, as a whole, tries to divide and conquer; you will never be able to mingle with people in neighboring departments or people you email every single day. And if you do get the chance to do that, management will try to only take some people and create conflict within the team. No one at this company is happy, so if that's important to you then don't bother. I cannot stress enough: This was the worst career I have made in my life and I would immediately become sad the moment I drove onto the property every single day.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. I am disappointed to hear that you feel that your time spent at CBS Interactive was not beneficial to your career. Specifically, I am sorry that you felt that you weren’t able to cross-collaborate with other departments with management support. This is in no way reflective of our CBS Interactive values. With so many affiliated brands & divisions under the CBS portfolio, we pride ourselves on the opportunities we provide our employees to get involved in varying projects and initiatives. We apologize that you did not feel like you had that type of support.

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.
