Paramount Pictures reviews

Unfortunately, it's really hit or miss here because of Paramount's annual tradition of restructuring and layoffs. You'll have one good boss one year and then they'll restructure to get rid of some people and you'll report to someone else the next year. Also, the annual purging makes people very insecure of their future since layoffs happen with really no rhyme or reason. Layoffs seem to happen whether you've been here 8 years or 8 months. Disorganization and lack of innovation starts from the top. We aren't challenged, rewarded or even encouraged to do new creative work. Just see what other studios have done and then figure out how we can replicate. Promotions aren't based on merit but on who you know and who's butt you kiss.

-Change and Innovation hampered by politics and fear of exec management/Viacom -Sr. Management is more concerned with CYA than actually making anything better -Low Employee Morale -Low Job Security (yearly lay-offs) -Low Pay (20-50K lower than peers at other majors) -3% annual raise is the maximum (and no one gets the rating to get this rate) -Poor performers don't get fired or put on performance plans, they get shuffled around until there's layoffs -Good people don't stay, bad employees stay forever
