      Entry level only

      Pros

      Its a way into the television business. Being in a big market, there is a lot of pressure on everyone's part to do a good job because a lot of people are going to see what you do. When it as all said and done and you do a good job, you feel really good about yourself.

      Cons

      You can get lost in the shuffle. If you are not one of the big wigs, you seem to go unnoticed.

      Great resume builder, fun place to work for a few years

      Product manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fun fast paced industry, especially in the online digital space. Great people to work with on a daily basis who are very talented and dedicated to getting things out right. People are willing to mentor others as long as you seek them yourself. Great networking opportunities in and out of NBC Universal. Personal development is valued, although you must find opportunities on your own. Resume builder and name recognition is a definite plus. A unique opportunity to see across the media space from broadcast television, cable, sports, news, film, and the online arena as entertainment consumption grows. Behind the scenes opportunities at 30 Rock and Universal Studios.

      Cons

      The politics and bureaucracy can be draining and triple timelines. Conference calls to plan conference calls and meetings to plan meetings get tiresome. If you can manage these you'll be fine. The company is also very compartmentalized. Each group does it's own thing with little thought to how other properties in the company have built the same application. That atmosphere often results in the same end use applications being built differently with no consistency or platforms across the company. Work life balance can be tough for some. Late nights and long weekends are often overlooked by management when it comes time for a little extra time off.

      Cool place to be, great learning experience for entry-level employees

      Staffing assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      NBC is an exciting place to be; there are contstantly promotional events happening in the experience store, and everything is centrally located in 30 Rock. It's pretty cool to go into work and bump into celebs heading up to SNL rehearsal! Another benefit of having everything in the same location is that it is easy to communicate with and learn from other departments.

      Cons

      Job security, especially if you are entry level and employed through Yoh. Yoh also doesn't provide benefits, and you can be employed through them a maximum of one year. After that, although it is likely, there is no guarantee you will have a spot on staff.
