Pros

Amazing work/life balance. You will not work past 5pm unless you choose to do so. Good health insurance Flexible work schedules Telecommuting options (some people are full-time telecommuters) Nice people for the most part Food Truck Fridays Monthly happy hour Monthly bring your dog to work day (Canine Friday) Bring in good speakers on a monthly basis Free yoga and pilates classes twice a week

Cons

Inefficient, hard to get things done Lack of clarity on roles and responsibilities leads to different departments stepping on toes Experience varies tremendously depending on which sites you work on Tons of people have been there 20+ years and aren't innovative Comp is just OK. I was underpaid by $20-40k for my title and number of years experience according to several pay sites like payscale, glassdoor, etc. Too many different work management tools that vary by group No training. New people genuinely have no idea how to do their jobs and the more junior salespeople especially are lost and afraid Several good, hard-working people got laid off while I was there and I don't know why but suspect it was "culture fit" or politics

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We put a lot of effort into maintaining a positive and enjoyable culture within our work environment. Who doesn’t love a monthly happy hour?! However, we are disappointed to hear that you feel there were inefficiencies and lack of clarity within teams. We value your feedback on the need for clearer job descriptions and better training and over the past year we have developed over twelve new CBSi specific training classes to help with such needs. As we continue to grow at an incredibly fast rate, we also understand the need to streamline across various teams within the company to maintain structure and efficiency. We appreciate your feedback and will ensure to take all comments into consideration as we continually look to improve.

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.
