NBCUniversal Reviews

Former Employee – worked at NBCUniversal

Pros – Exceptional culture, great support from management, opportunities for professional development only limited by individual's desire for growth. "Fun Product" makes coming in to work an enjoyable experience.

Cons – Unfortunately, home entertainment products are in a steady consumer decline. This is an industry whose days are numbered due to digital delivery and the death of rentailers.

Advice to Senior Management – There are still several cost saving opportunities available if you take the initiative to breakdown "siloed" structure in U.S. and reduce redundant and underperforming individuals.

Former Employee – worked at NBCUniversal as an intern for less than a year

Pros – Big, known brand - good to brag!

Great opportunities for people who're already IN the company. Lots of professional development, references and exciting activities to participate.

Cons – Everybody just stared at the computer. Everyone seemed always busy. No one really talked, except in meetings and appointments. It seemed as if no one cared to see what's going on around them. A sense of awkwardness and a feeling of being lost!

Dealt with some arrogant HR people, stuck with tons of documentation and old ways of handling things!

Advice to Senior Management – Help the team loosen up, and break the silos!

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Cons – favoritism/nepotism, BIG company politics, no opportunity for career advancement , talk but no action, etc.

Former Employee – worked at NBCUniversal as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – They take care of everything from transportation to meals, etc. Extra work is fun and pays pretty well: about $100 for the day. Working with Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey was great. The supervisors were polite for a change. It was a long day: about twelve hours, but it went fast. There was plenty to eat and drink, and there were SAG-only tables where you could hang out and shoot the breeze.

Cons – The frequency of being called for work is up and down. You can get three jobs in a row within a month, or not get called for a few months.
