Pros

Autonomy to make the role my own! There is so much change which is challenging but also exciting and consistent communication from various Senior executives ensures we are aware of the global and local impacts of the current challenging times but also how we are pushing through and seeing some great successes. Even through remote working in the majority, the effort from the team to stay connected and engaged remains and the support given and experienced is truly fantastic. The company show passion and commitment to a culture of inclusiveness and the recent events have only highlighted some of the great activity had already but also where we can continue to push to ensure we continue this drive for diverse talent and culture. I feel proud to be part of the company and excited for what the future brings.

Cons

With the amount of change had due to the merger & Covid, connecting global teams and aligning strategies is taking a long time. Lots in the works but seeing the outcomes at this stage is needed. Matrix alignment can cause blockers to local initiatives which I'd like to see change.

Pros

- Benefits - At the Digital Specialist, Account Manager, and Account Executive level the people are mostly incredible to work with internally - Most AEs are able to have their own offices, which helps significantly to drown out the noise of senior management

Cons

- CEO / Culture post Skydance merger: I never thought I would ever be in a position where I would want to leave a company because of the people. But that is starting to become the case. ELT/SLT does not care about the culture, hard workers, or rewarding loyalty. They will treat you like a number because the only thing anyone cares about (and its so apparent more than ever) is the bottom line. - Compensation and values - working for Viacom and CBS / ViacomCBS / Paramount before Skydance actually felt like it meant something. Now, no one knows if we're even valued and more often than not we're made to feel like every day of our lives here we have to prove our value over and over again. You never genuinely feel safe or comfortable here because there's going to be layoffs every 6 months. Other tech companies will give better compensation - Paramount needs to up their game if they don't want to continue losing their best talent. - You're literally just a number here. The company does not reward hard work or loyalty so it's best to just watch your own back because no one will have it here. They have let go of the best leaders that I've ever come across and have kept toxic egos only because they know how to play the toxic game that working here has become
