Pros

The people are nice, and many people have creative pursuits after work. Hours can be flexible. There are excellent benefits, including medical, dental, match on 401(k), and even a pension plan (not that many of the young employees will stick around long enough to take advantage of it).

Cons

Very large company with all the bureaucracy you'd expect. Sometimes hard to advance (though sometimes surprisingly easy). Work not necessarily "meaningful".

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.
