Pros

They have decent salary and benefits.

Cons

Unhealthy work environment. Very corporate. HR is only there to serve the company and is very incompetent. Huge expectations from employees for not much in return.

Pros

Great company to work for. Really easy going environment. Amazing central London location. Great pension plan. Movies and DVDs.

Cons

Impossible to get things done. Dull projects that in fact nobody like. Unrealistic deadlines. Really basic to non existent project management. Project managers don't have the basic knowledge for doing what need to be done. NBC Universal is a company for contractors, nothing more nothing less. Permanent staff is a rare specimen, therefore you'll see people disappear suddenly or they won't care at all. Contractors are really protective of their job, and they will stab you with a smile. Half of the time you'll get paranoid about decisions that are made and things will be dropped at you without previous briefing. For all the time I've been there I didn't know who my line manager was and nobody knew who should accept holidays requests. Like a million of other corporations they are too big to fall, but from the inside you won't understand how they stand. Tons and tons of legacy code to deal with. Really keen to blame people without even trying to get to the root of the problem.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave this review. While we're proud to offer great perks to our employees, we believe that they should never be a focus. We want to make sure our employees are heard and that there is a feeling of growth amongst our community. We know that being a part of a large company with a portfolio that's as diverse as ours is can be difficult to manage sometimes, but we hope our employees feel comfortable enough to speak to their HR contact whenever they have questions or concerns. We appreciate your hard work for NBCUniversal, and we wish you the best! Thanks again for the review. - The NBCUniversal Talent Acquisition Team
