Pros

Good people, unique opportunities for learning.

Cons

More employees are looking to quit than ever before. CBS Corporate is constantly eroding away the dot-com culture which once made CBSi a cool company. The new open layout makes deep focus very difficult and I believe this is having a significant impact for a lot of people, but it's impossible to measure at this point. Very high employee turnover means a lot of knowledge escapes, and when senior team members means 1+ years, it can be like the blind leading the blind.

We appreciate your feedback. We’re so grateful to hear that we have been able to provide you with learning opportunities unique to CBS Interactive. From trainings and ongoing evaluations of organizational structures, we work hard to ensure that our managers are good leaders for their teams. Although some turnover is expected for any company growing at the rate we are, we are disappointing to hear that you felt turnover and changing management affected your employment with us. We appreciate your comments and will incorporate your feedback as we continue to improve!

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.
