Pros

- flexible work schedule - great work/life balance - There are some real gems in leadership that will help you grow in your role and career.

Cons

- CBSi is like high school. Not a private high school that prepares you for college. It is more like the public high school you just happen to be zoned to attend. Your experience depends on what clique you join. - Most of the middle management is just there to accrue PTO. Forget about support from your manager or general leadership. (unless you win the 'good manager' lottery) - There is a lot of bureaucracy and unwillingness to disrupt the status quo so things move slow. - Annual review feedback goes unaddressed. - Compensation = popcorn

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.
