Pros

One of the best perks of working at Viacom is the work/life balance. Summer Fridays is a great example. When I worked there we got every other Friday off in the Summer.

Cons

The biggest downside I experienced while working there was the pace of personal/professional advancement, by which I mean it was non-existant. I worked there for several years without a pro-motion in title.

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.
