Pros

The cafeteria? No wait, maybe the little card with your picture on it and all the logos for the various Viacom subsidiaries. For some reason people still seem to think the name has cache (but even that is vanishing). I think you get to keep the card when you leave.

Cons

Managerial incompetence, lack of focus, lack of communication between divisions, poor salary, poor medical plan. While there have been rumblings at MTV of "change" and "new directions", the results have been mixed. Management often lacks experience in the fields related to their projects, and rely on others to feed them the knowledge they don't have.

Pros

None. They use to have a loose remote policy. No longer.

Cons

Its not the smartest that survive. Its the most political. Everything is done here for flash. Not for any strategic reason.

Pros

-Since it’s in-house, the work feels so much less stressful and lower stakes since we’re not dealing with clients. There’s more flexibility to be creativity, especially in performance marketing. -Free Paramount+

Cons

-Only managers and above get unlimited PTO -five days in the office now -Growth is basically nonexistent after the Skydance merger (all promotions on my team were denied, despite us taking on extra work due to people being laid off months ago) -pay is extremely low compared to industry average
