Advancement is based on the relationships you build not ability. It’s an environment that rewards conformity
If you are able to play the yes man game and have a certain disposition you will do well at NBC. Otherwise you will find yourself with few opportunities for a advancement and a company that is very afraid of its future
ProsGods work life balance
ConsNo diversity of ethnicity or thought in many departments such as sales

Get in as high as possible you won’t get promoted
I worked for two departments while at NBC, Commercial Operations which is now Sales Operations and aster Control. When I worked in Commercial Operations I loved everything about my job and my co-workers. I went on maternity leave (which is 16 weeks by the way) The two top women in our dept (the vp and regional manager) who happened to be Hispanic and black were fired after 17 and 21 years due to departmental changes. They brought in some new managers who were inexperienced and much cheaper who did not know our department. Needless to say, a few months later the fired another female manager of 46 years and replaced her with a male who had been with the company for 9 years. Morale got very low so I left and went across the bridge to the Master Control department. This department was going through new management protocols and had a history of previous managers leaving because they were being passed up for vp positions from newcomers. The master Control operators were newer on the sports side and management did not really help with sops. Mistakes or errors were blamed on whoever the manager was not favorable with. The technical managers/Supervisors were pretty nice but played favorites with people they were cool with or their roommates. The entertainment master control operators seemed miserable because they hated their shifts. Overall as a sports operator I was pretty happy as long as I was live. The training process is terrible and can leave your career stagnant. Welp, that’s
ProsLots of free food, great maternity leave, park passes to universal
ConsTraining takes too long, too many moving managers
Fast paced diverse network full of opportunities and career growth! Had wonderful mentors and industry team players. The culture balance was excellent.

Great company at the forefront of innovation
Really enjoyed my time at NBC. A place where finding solutions and being a problem solver is a must. A lot of the time we were in fire drill mode. Co-Workers were fantastic. Management could be tone deaf at times. Very top heavy organization.

Satisfying projects and work environment
The work can be very challenging and engaging. The variety of projects being developed by the company can provide the opportunity to work on one that best fits one's interest and career goals. In turn, one experiences great satisfaction and pride that comes with the completion of the project.
A positive work environment, and people who want to get things done.
This is a very positive work environment, and I have been impressed with the support NBC Universal has provided to employees, especially through the challenges brought about by the pandemic. A great place to work.

Great co-workers and fun perks
Overall, I had a great experience during my tenure at NBCU. There were great perks too. I enjoyed the opportunity to participate with the yearly Upfront event.
A traditional TV company that's continually taking steps to be innovative in the digital technology space. I was fortunate to land in the right role with wonderful team members and leadership who encouraged me to pursue innovative ideas I had that would bring more value to our clients. Very supportive manager, great culture, engaging work environment.
Though I have never worked here full-time, I have spent enough time to see that most employees enjoy what they do here. The work flow is relaxed when it needs to be and fast-paced otherwise.

Brand, credibility, legacy
Stoic, proud company that has a lot of good people but also too many old school personalities with old school thinking. Afraid of change and lack of willingness to embrace it even though the talking points from corporate suggest otherwise.
ProsStrong brand
ConsLegacy thinking
