OK, place to work, but you produce a crap product most of the time and they know it. They follow not lead. - Director of Marketing Paramount Employee Review

Pros

- Most of the management is interested in helping employees achieve their goals -Good benifits - Good vacation and summer fridays - A few perks as far as travel and budgets - They say work life balance is important

Cons

- You produce a crap product. It is all about how much you can produce for how cheep - The pay is way bellow industry standard unless your a VP or above - There are lots of young people and thus lost of emotional reactions and lack of professional behavior - MTV follows NOT leads, they are always behind the eight ball never satisfied with where they are and not quite sure where they are going. After Tom Freston left the vision seemed to go with him

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.
