Pros

Amazing workplace culture, benefits and coworkers. Corporate office has a game room, and managers are very understanding about work / life balance.

Cons

Pay isn't that competitive compared to other employers in the area. Some of the senior engineers can be a little arrogant sometimes.

Thank you for the review. We agree, the game room is pretty great! Our ability to maintain an “interactive” community culture is something we pride ourselves in. We have many teams specifically dedicated to enhancing our employees' experience at CBSi. In addition, we also have teams dedicated to understanding the current marketplace including compensation, benefits and workplace environment. We work hard to ensure we stay competitive in the market, and we greatly appreciate you letting us know this is an important issue for you. Thanks again!

Pros

- Benefits - At the Digital Specialist, Account Manager, and Account Executive level the people are mostly incredible to work with internally - Most AEs are able to have their own offices, which helps significantly to drown out the noise of senior management

Cons

- CEO / Culture post Skydance merger: I never thought I would ever be in a position where I would want to leave a company because of the people. But that is starting to become the case. ELT/SLT does not care about the culture, hard workers, or rewarding loyalty. They will treat you like a number because the only thing anyone cares about (and its so apparent more than ever) is the bottom line. - Compensation and values - working for Viacom and CBS / ViacomCBS / Paramount before Skydance actually felt like it meant something. Now, no one knows if we're even valued and more often than not we're made to feel like every day of our lives here we have to prove our value over and over again. You never genuinely feel safe or comfortable here because there's going to be layoffs every 6 months. Other tech companies will give better compensation - Paramount needs to up their game if they don't want to continue losing their best talent. - You're literally just a number here. The company does not reward hard work or loyalty so it's best to just watch your own back because no one will have it here. They have let go of the best leaders that I've ever come across and have kept toxic egos only because they know how to play the toxic game that working here has become
