Pros

Many training programmes (on-screen training) Good feedback system (software) Development programmes Talent scouting, creative competitions Many site activities (social) Free water, coffee, tea, sometimes food Easy to get in as many people are leaving after a short time of employment

Cons

More than understaffed Many department heads (directors) do not have the necessary management skills, tend to be aggressive and unfair Bad payment for new starters Lack of appreciation All in all it feels like a startup company.

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.
