Pros

fun place to work... lots of great people to work with.. you get summer fridays which will either give you a half day on fridays or if your manager is cool you will have every other friday off. some of the most beautiful people work here so you always have something to look at.. sweet lodge.

Cons

you have to be lucky to be able to keep your job there. they layoff all the wrong people. management is terrible. they only promote friends. its impossible to further your career there. The more people they fire the more impossible your job becomes.

Pros

There are many reasons to why CBS Interactive is predominantly one of the best places to work in the bay area. Unfortunately I never got to see that side of the company. If i can take one positive experience from working at CBS Interactive it would have been the people on the same level as you are. By this i mean the people who aren't your subordinate or people who aren't higher than you. The people on your same level know what you go through and can sympathize with you when you make mistakes, rather than upper level positions criticize you and make it near impossible to move forward in your career.

Cons

There are many downsides of working at CBS Interactive, and to be completely honest with you, they outweigh the positives. Management is very poorly ran, and they truly treat the lowest on the totem pole with the most lack of respect i have ever seen in a company. Sure, i understood that my position would be hard and rough. It was also brought to my attention that i was expected to make mistakes, but once a mistake came...I was reprimanded and never shown in the same light ever again. I brought my problems i had with the company to HR, and to be honest with you they made it seem like accommodating my requests were a heavy task and not worth their time. I ultimately left the company because of the negativity towards the workforce in the company.

Pros

Paramount is a known brand, the disorganization will give you a lot of experience, some teams are good.

Cons

discrimination, not much opportunity to grow, and no diversity at senior level but they use ethnic talent to keep their brand running. some teams are disrespectful. the pay was not average for the market and no bonus. company alumni told me about the racism but I thought the company is better now because those people were in the role a long time ago. it's still there.
