Pros

There are no pros to working here anymore. A combination of horrible management and Comcast has ruined this company.

Cons

A very hostile work environment filled with discrimination and harassment. If you are efficient, work hard and want to learn then this is not the place for you. Extremely cut throat. Instead of focusing on learning and growing you have to worry about who is trying to make you look bad. A political nightmare. I believe the White House to be an easier place to work. The politics at NBCUniversal is on another level. Certain employees are allowed 70+ hours a week which can include working from home and showing up any time of the day. Meanwhile others who abide by all the rules and work hard are getting let go because of "cut backs".

Pros

-Other individual contributors are great to work with -Interesting problems to solve

Cons

-Peacock development teams are 100% waterfall, while they mean well, you will deliver 4 features a year -Most senior leadership have not worked for a modern technology driven company -Extremely toxic work culture leads to burn out -Favoritism with promotions and salaries -I cannot stress this enough, if you have another offer take it. Working here will be the worst decision you make for your health and sanity.
