Pluspunten

The atmosphere is very relaxed and you can dress however you want - which is great to foster individuality and boost morale. The work day usually starts around 10:00am - compared to the rest of the world that starts at 9:00am. As awful as the subject matter is these days, talking about MTV shows is still more fun than talking about stock losses, pharmaceuticals or paper.

Minpunten

The pay at MTV isn't even close to competitive. There is a sense of arrogance from senior management that assumes that people will work there for less money because "it's MTV". Unfortunately, they are right. MTV is also very unreliable. You can hear one thing on Monday and it won't be true by Wednesday. Also, the incidence of mediocre employees "failing upward" is staggering. The company is over-dependent on Perma-Lancers (long term freelance employees) but still treats them like crap by scaling back benefits and requiring them to leave after 9 months even when their services are still requried.

Pluspunten

People who were at Paramount before the Skydance merger remain talented and amazing people.

Minpunten

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.
