New leadership team transforming the organization (but too slowly).

Pros

NBCUniversal still is a big studio. Has a history and the know how to produce and distribute great content.

Cons

Good place to work when you don't have serious ambition. Management team and culture slowly changing. Creatives run the company --- but don't know that they have the ability to make the company a leader. Very poor professional development across the board which isn't that uncommon in the industry.

Pros

If you live in the "Valley" it's a great location, even if you lived in Hollywood, I'd consider working at Universal.

Cons

If you do not live in the "Valley" it's could be a big commute, if you in Hollywood, it still might be a big drive in the mornings.
