Pros

1. You're working for a major publisher 2. Free snacks, soda & juice 3. Fun Happy Hours 4. Good colleagues to work with 5. You learn a lot about Digital Media

Cons

We found out on 2/11/19 all planners would be laid off. We have only a month to find new jobs ... The severance package is not even a real package, only one extra paycheck !

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.
