Pros

Terrific benefits Pretty solid salary for the entertainment industry The SVP level has some of the legitimately smartest people you will ever meet

Cons

Despite constantly talking flexibility this is super team dependent with high pressure from leadership to do hybrid not remote (even on teams where it makes no sense) SUPER TOP HEAVY - I came in as a director and had no direct reports and did entry level data management and analyses. Really need to stop hiring VPs and directors in favor for analysts

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.
