Pros

If you are dedicated, you will build a portfolio of career-building experiences that make you an asset to other companies after you leave. People often in the same position level as you or under you are some of the best people you will ever meet in your life. You will create friendships and camaraderie that will extend beyond your career.

Cons

The conglomerate over-communicates inclusion and diversity, but it really lacks emotional connection with employees and exec management. Execs do a very poor job of building their teams and as a result, business lines are run by people that don't always support their immediate team mates. The company also lacks the thinking of new age strategy in the digital spectrum - even down to the emails, the clock is turned back and you wonder why you have half the tech issues you do. Several support & HR departments are just not helpful, and also have action of non-care. These networks are regarded as 'the best of the best', so in doing so, the people in this company fail to see needs for improvement and take ideas quite often with failure to its given credit.

Pros

People who were at Paramount before the Skydance merger remain talented and amazing people.

Cons

The post-Skydance merger Paramount is an aimless corporate with zero resources, and respect for existing employees. Senior management are coming from Disney, and they’re hiring all their previous Disney colleagues, while laying off employees that have been at Paramount through ages. There has also been a shift in demographics where White men control the power. It’s disheartening to see amazing legacy leadership get demoted and sidelined in favor of incoming White male leaders from Disney. The new senior management will say things like, “We want to invest in people that will stay with us and grow,” yet layoff an entire division that have kept this company running through all the transitions. The disrespect is just ridiculous.
