Pros
- The designers I worked with were some of the best I've ever seen. Grateful to have worked with just talented people.
Cons
- Initial onboarding process was nonexistent. Designers are thrown into the lion’s den without any assistance and are expected to learn workflow and process without being taught. - Pay “adjustment” was completely disrespectful. Personally worked on a different team within ViacomCBS previously and was paid below industry standards. After several months, pay was adjusted, but only a few thousand dollars more - still beneath industry standards. Jobs with the same title pay on average around 30k more than what I was getting paid while at ViacomCBS. - Company and corporate politics made for poor upper management; there was absolutely no respect or appreciation for employees below management. - Management was sloppy and passive aggressive. Oftentimes will micromanage projects, even when said projects were already approved by leads and stakeholders. - Work/Life balance was essentially nonexistent across the board. Designers were expected to work overtime as well as weekends. Management was unapologetic, especially to those working in different timezones. - Management would also constantly talk about change and improvement but do nothing - all talk and no action.
