Pros

Great, fun people. Its a large organization with opportunities to move in different directions and to different brands within MTVN. The money can be okay, but you have to fight for it. The plans always seem to be changing, so you it helps to be proactive. Its also a great place for networking as you can meet people from other brands and plan for your future that way. The benefits are good and their are some nice perks from time to time. If you like a strong corporate vision from the top, than this is not a place for you!

Cons

Cloudy vision, terrible core organization, many people in very senior roles.

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.
