Q&A With ViacomCBS Employees
IDX: 0 TOT: 26
What's the office vibe like at ViacomCBS?
It's work focused and very laid back. One employee consistently wears sweatpants and heavy metal band t-shirts. Lots of free swag and perks like breakfast and meals/drinks out of the office every two months or so. People are friendly and not clique-ish. People don't generally eat lunch together though, which I don't like.
It depends upon what part of Viacom - Nickelodeon is a bit more straight-laced whereas some of the other channels are a little looser but tend to be a bit cliquish. Overall people can dress how they wish. There is a pride with working there, too.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at ViacomCBS?
Top Employee Response
positive but a bit individualist, not a lot of team bonding
It's a bit low-key culturally. The environment is not particularly inspiring, but it is fine.
How hard is it to get promoted at ViacomCBS?
Very difficult depending on your role. For creatives, you'll have to demonstrate to a lot of people, for a long time, that you can quickly deliver something that consistently exceeds their expectations. Assistant editors looking to be promoted to editors can expect a minimum of 3 years before even being considered
What is ViacomCBS's internship program like?
Like everywhere, there are fewer interns now than there were years ago. I strongly suggest having software skills like MS Office but especially Adobe Premiere. If you can master After FX, you are more likely to be hired (speaking as an editor/gfx artist). Software skills are the easiest way to set yourself apart.
What is the PTO policy at ViacomCBS?
Varies by department but is generally super flexible and accommodating.
Does ViacomCBS drug test or do a background check?
No drug test. Background check is minimal (more like they google you).
What kind of people does ViacomCBS like to hire?
People that are cool. Don't show up to your interview in a suit and tie. Try to seem like you have a sense of what's going on with mainstream culture in terms of music, tv, and films. You will often be asked who you follow on Instagram or what TV shows you like (and throwing a Viacom show in there helps).
How can I get hired at ViacomCBS as a recent grad?
The most important thing is to have skills. And they easiest and most in demand skill is a basic knowledge of Adobe Premiere. If you can master this software, it will help get your foot in the door. Also, it helps to know the shows. If you email the shows directly on the facebook page, that will put you in touch with a marketing person. Other than that, apply online and mention your skills and connection to Viacom content.
