Pros

Really FUN place to work with lots of smart people in the VERY hot market of video games and online games in the social media space with super hot IP. Our company does both the AddictingGames and Shockwave sites that driven millions of users to our products. Everyone here is driven to do really good work, the Senior Management team is very open in communication to all employees at all levels and encourages high participation of all. You are given the tools you need to get your job done and also the room and flexibility to get it done your own way without a lot of hand-holding or micromanagement. I love it here!

Cons

Not really much that is negative to say, its the best place I have worked in my recent career experience.

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.
