Pros

NBC employees are very professional, pleasant to work with and hard working. They treat their interns and fellows with respect; i learned a lot about the tv news business and they give a lot of support in furthering your career.

Cons

NBC has a very young staff in some areas; many of whom are new to the company and unfamiliar with how it works. I found the equipment to be lagging behind a little and the technology not as up-to-date as I anticipated.

Excellent Internship Experience

Business Outlook

Pros

The people I worked with were incredibley helpful, friendly, and competent. As an intern I was given some very fun and interesting opportunities, not only in terms of work. I handled real projects and had real responsibilities. I was not in charge of bringing people coffee or other cliche intern tasks. I felt appreciated and respected at all times.

Cons

I don't know how much the internship goes toward helping you land a real job with the company. But otherwise, there were very few cons to my experience.

Pros

Your coworkers are intelligent and fun. The manager/supervisor was really helpful and understanding. Gave feedback when you ask for it. The people you work with make it fun and great.

Cons

Most of the internships at NBC universal are unpaid. I had to take a course to receive college credit. Other than that it was great.
