Pros

The history, location and level of talent is a wonderful asset to the company. Walking into the building every day is always exciting with so much activity going on. NBC is high-profile with so many great people to learn from. You work on high-caliber shows.

Cons

Micro-managers! Corporate feel! Everything got worse when Comcast took over. Morale is very low. You always look over your shoulder hoping you're not included in the next round of layoffs.
