Pros

Chill environment to work in. A great place for networking! You will meet people who will remember you and call you for more work. I worked in production and met some great people who then brought me on to other shows. Great place to start your career because you can learn as you go. Many opportunities for promotion and growth.

Cons

The pay isn't that great. Don't let them take advantage of you...MTV is notorious for this. It takes forever to have things approved, so be prepared to wait for things to get done.

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.
