Pros

Great work environment in the NY office, ample opportunity to learn about the online media industry and make contacts both internally and externally. While official training is minimal, being thrown in is a great way to learn quickly. Pretty much everyone is friendly and helpful for the most part.

Cons

There are plenty of frustrating inefficiencies that make it difficult to accomplish tasks quickly. Outdated backend systems, layers of bureaucracy, and poorly organized internal data are just a few of the obstacles in your way. I don't see any of these issues being unique to CBS Interactive though.

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.
