Pros

As with CNET Networks, which makes up the bulk of the crew here (at least in SF), high points include a large group of friendly, intelligent people, and a climate that is casual yet energized. It's definitely a place you can make friends AND learn quite a bit.

Cons

Advancing in your field isn't always easy here--the move up the chain is slow, and upper management is difficult to break into if you don't have an MBA and/or a marketing background.

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.
