Pros
High energy studio lot makes going to work every day feel special and far from mundane. Friendly and bright colleagues provide for an enjoyable and stimulating work environment. Work/life balance is a plus and there are numerous perks/amenities (weekly screenings are just the beginning). Paramount functions almost like a small city in terms of its onsite offerings: excellent fitness center, dry cleaning, salon/barbershop, daycare, health clinic, car wash, multiple restaurants, etc. Internship-specific: Incredible summer experience and far exceeded my expectations. Highly structured with events that encourage interns to learn various parts of the business (i.e. weekly speaker series and related networking events).
Cons
Though it’s true there’s relatively low yield to F/T employment (especially when compared against MBA internships outside of entertainment), it’s worth noting F/T yield has increased significantly in recent years. Either way, Paramount’s MBA internship is top notch and will serve you well in industry, whether you land here permanently or not.
