Pluspunten

It can be dynamic, creative and highly entrepreneurial, and even exciting at times. Ultimately, it's a very meritocratic environment -- good ideas go far and creative bubbles up from the lower rungs. For kids starting out fresh from college, it's a boot camp that stays with you for the rest of your career and you will learn tremendously. Some of the creative execs are among the best in the business, and as corporate environments go, the diversity is a welcome alternative to the white Ivy grads inundating other companies.

Minpunten

The same spirit of entrepreneurialism has its inherent drawbacks: senior leadership is MIA, report structures are a complete mystery, internal resources are squandered on conflicting priorities, direction changes all too constantly, there's very very little communication, and executive accountability to the troops is unheard of. Senior execs institute staff purges while maintaining sick expense accounts. Helicopters to JFK are not unheard of and yet the $100 a day assistant has got to go.

Pluspunten

- 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

Minpunten

- 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
