      Toxic environment - Anonymous employee Paramount Employee Review

      Pros

      Great place to learn about the online advertising industry and explore the different types of roles available in the space (Sales, Product Marketing, Programmatic, Product Management, HR, Accounting, Vendors, Billing, etc).

      Cons

      Very much like a high school environment, if you're in the "in" crowd then you can get promoted faster. It's not promotions based on merit. It is an incredibly cliquey office that lacks the culture of helping each other out. The office also allows unprofessional behaviors of employees, such as yelling at other department employees, both in emails and in person.

      Thank you for the feedback. It is great to hear that you were able to explore different roles while you were here. As a company with 30+ different brands and divisions, we are proud of the fact that our employees can learn and explore different areas throughout the company. I am sorry to hear about your experience in office. The executive and HR teams have a zero-tolerance policy for unprofessional or disrespectful behavior in the workplace so I apologize that this scenario was not brought to their attention. We want all employees to feel valued and that there are resources available to support you so again, we apologize that this scenario was not stopped. I am also sorry to hear that you felt promotions were not based on merit. I assure you that we are an equal opportunity company and internal merit and promotion discussions are based on work performance.

      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
