Pros

There is a strong brand/IP within the company.

Cons

The company culture used to be good but post the merger and rebranding this company culture has deteriorated so much. They say inclusivity and collaboration but there is true bullying happening at the company. The new heads play favoritism and there's a hostile work environment where they make those not on their original team do extra tasks, talk down on them, and not provide the support they need. Poor pay. No room to grow. Laid off a bunch of people but expect you to do everything for free because of their mistakes. Not even a simple thank you or dose of understanding from the management teams. My opinion was never valued and I was discouraged from sharing ideas; rather, I was talked at and our team never had briefings to brainstorm ideas for improvement.

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.
