Paramount reviews

It's a big company, and you have to work with multiple departments. If you're a coder and you work on something user-facing, expect to build things to the spec of the design team. You can't just hack stuff together per your own standards

Massive layoffs frequently. This last one cut down 9% of the company. In a public relations piece, the CEO pretty heartlessly boasted about how much money he was saving by taking away so many jobs. Meanwhile didn't see a dime cut from his $40,000,000 (FOURTY MILLION) annual salary. Interestingly they also laid of about 40 people making $1+ mil salaries, makes you wonder who they were and how many are still left making that much. The reason the company is doing so poorly is because of the lack of innovation caused by politics/bureaucracy: you get promoted because of your connections, not your talents and when you do try to get your ideas out there, there's a million layers of approval above you. That's why the top is still making millions but they're laying off all the little worker bees where all the actual talent is. They don't tap the talent that they do have or at least don't incentivize them well. They have an internal program called the Pitch where they allow all the employees to pitch their best idea so that they can steal it for a mere 10k to the winner - even if it's a million dollar idea. The runners up can have their ideas stolen for free. There is CERTAINLY discrimination in pay. If you're a man, you might benefit from this. Ladies, look elsewhere. Promotions are disproportionately given to men. After seeing everyone I worked closely with get sacked and now having to do the job of three people, morale is spectacularly low. On the bright side, some of that bureaucracy has hopefully been trimmed as well.
