Pros

Studio is nice place to work, as the environment nice to go everyday. However, the work environment is horrible these days.

Cons

Pipeline of feature production is non-existent. There are no good movies planned for 2010 & beyond. Management style suck...get more done with less and happy you have a job! Micro-management is pervasive throughout...even from Viacom. There outsourcing everything to India and the moral sucks for those who are left.

Business Outlook

Pros

Always allowed time off when requested, great management, fun corporate culture that emphasizes work-life balance. Free food, free toys! Employee discount = you only have to pay $4 for Paramount/Dreamworks DVD's and $10 for Blu-ray. The best Christmas parties!

Cons

Managers can be arrogant sometimes. Pay is not as great comparable to other studios in the entertainment industry. Not too satisfied with prospects for career growth.
