Pros

The new upper management is genuinely interested in turning this previously corporate entity into a more innovate place. So they're trying to turn away from the corporate stigma and embrace a younger, more 'startup' like vibe. This is great in that new, creative ideas are considered and not immediately turned away. The people here are smart and driven. It's a great network to be a part of.

Cons

Even with the attempt to be 'hipper', there are still quite a few team members who were there back when the company was a bit more straitlaced, so there's still a lot of red tape, and not everyone is willing to accept 'innovation'—it really depends which branch office you work at. San Francisco is probably the best place to be. The employees there have more camaraderie, and tend to work and play together more. Other branches are a bit more isolated from the feeling of being a part of something bigger.

Pros

- Benefits - At the Digital Specialist, Account Manager, and Account Executive level the people are mostly incredible to work with internally - Most AEs are able to have their own offices, which helps significantly to drown out the noise of senior management

Cons

- CEO / Culture post Skydance merger: I never thought I would ever be in a position where I would want to leave a company because of the people. But that is starting to become the case. ELT/SLT does not care about the culture, hard workers, or rewarding loyalty. They will treat you like a number because the only thing anyone cares about (and its so apparent more than ever) is the bottom line. - Compensation and values - working for Viacom and CBS / ViacomCBS / Paramount before Skydance actually felt like it meant something. Now, no one knows if we're even valued and more often than not we're made to feel like every day of our lives here we have to prove our value over and over again. You never genuinely feel safe or comfortable here because there's going to be layoffs every 6 months. Other tech companies will give better compensation - Paramount needs to up their game if they don't want to continue losing their best talent. - You're literally just a number here. The company does not reward hard work or loyalty so it's best to just watch your own back because no one will have it here. They have let go of the best leaders that I've ever come across and have kept toxic egos only because they know how to play the toxic game that working here has become
