Pros

I loved my tenure at Paramount, particularly the company’s commitment to organizational change management. The tech organization deeply understood that people were central to the success of transformational activities. Sponsors were often laser-focused on the real impacts of change, elevating change champions to help make transitions practical and effective. The mantra of "One Paramount" was key to how we worked and approached initiatives—change for the people by the people.

Cons

Things began to shift when the previous CEO was let go in anticipation of a merger. The focus moved towards a core versus non-core activity model, and that recalibration is still in progress. While this might be necessary for the business, it feels like some of the original collaborative energy has been redirected.

Pros

I had a good run and I was promoted internally a number of times. I would say that was highly manager or leadership dependent though, so quite a personal take. On the brand side, we had a lot of freedom locally to run with the IP and create impactful work.

Cons

It's a very tumultuous time in the company due to the pending acquisition, but then it's also a bit that way in the media industry at large. Due to this, there are tight budgets, hiring freezes, project cancellations and near-constant restructures. US HQ decisions flow out to international markets and so, don't necessarily make sense locally.
