Just like one of their TV shows: it's entertaining and exciting, but it can't hear a damn thing you say. - Senior Web Producer NBCUniversal Employee Review

Pros

You can't beat the product -- which is to say the TV shows and specials the company creates and broadcasts. If you like working in entertainment and media, if you like knowing backstage gossip and info on your favorite shows and stars, if you're a fan, then this is the place for you. Since the company is part of GE, the benefits package is fantastic. Even the company cafeteria is good! And the fact that you walk right past the Tonight Show studios to reach it every day is pretty neat.

Cons

Senior management -- VP's and Senior VP's -- consistently didn't know their ass from their elbow. They might have MBA's, but they didn't know (and worse, really didn't care!) a damn thing about how to do the actual day-to-day boots on the ground kind of work that we grunts were doing. They were also unreceptive to suggestions from staff. Hours for the grunts were very long, because of the need for on-site synchronization with the weekly TV schedule, but VP's were usually gone from the office by 6:01 PM. Consequently, staff turnover was unusually high, resulting in continual losses of institutional knowledge, and morale was low.

Pros

Great perks and benefits! Free theme park tickets, cable, peacock subscription. Good place for interns

Cons

Entry level pay is very poor and not sustainable. Lot of politics when it comes to promotions and it is based more on relationship with management rather than actual performance. Upper management just takes all your work and presents as their own. Fake it till you make is at every level of this organization. Hired people as remote and now is laying everyone off.
