Pros

The current employees at NBC.com are good hardworking people, you won't find much of a culture there but there isn't much office politics either, which I guess is good. Current management is an improvement compared to the last regime before Comcast which was a disaster. Salaries are average as well as benefits, an excellent 401K. If you make it thru the work week, they serve up FREE bagels on Friday with a splendid selection of cream cheeses.

Cons

• Promotions are only in upper management. • 2% raises with no bonuses for the little guy EVER! • Product development is all outsourced so put away your portfolio cause your not going to have anything to show your next employer. • Thousands of dollars wasted on vendors that over charge and under perform. • Zero culture with a revolving door. • Management under values current employee talent and does not communicate well. • Micro managing at it's worst during any crisis. • Upper NBC Universal management has zero understanding of the importance of consumer engagement with products and has an old school advertising mentality of just delivering a message thru cheap graphics and one liners.

Pros

Excellent culture based on passion for the industry and product. Terrific people.

Cons

Executive level management in the U.S very slow to change and adapt. Siloed organization with seemingly no desire to work together across divisions.

Pros

Depends on where in the massive conglomerate that is NBC's. My office had a fabulous talented, funny and hardworking people. Great networking lots of little fun perks.

Cons

Keeping your position alive is always on your mind. TV is a fickle industry and it's amplified at this network is my general feeling.
