Pros

Vending machine sodas still only cost a quarter.

Cons

Senior management solutions to just about everything typically involve creating additional and unnecessary management layers, scheduling endless meetings in which very little actually gets done, and/or giving powerpoint presentations in which jokes are all too often more plentiful than actionable ideas. On those occasions that meetings result in meaningful discussion and good ideas, almost never any follow through. Far too many folks just going through the motions day-to-day. People here used to be so passionate! Antiquated systems for expense reports, PTO requests etc.

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.
