NBC Universal, not bad, not great.

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The name still carries cache and can open opportunities with other media companies. NBC Universal is still a major player in the media industry and provides significant learnings opportunities to individuals who are new to media. GE training programs are top notch and widely respected. The Crotonville campus is model that other corporations should strive to match. Hours are significantly better than other industries in NYC. Late nights and weekends are rare and an emphasis is placed on work/life balance.

Cons

Limited career opportunities with a preference for promoting from the outside rather than from within. Slow moving company that's resists the changing environment that it's confronted with. Salaries are considerably less than other employers in NYC.

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

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.

Pros

To be apart of and create for an established brand is priceless. People are focused, driven, talented and excited to come to work each day. Opportunities to meet folks for mentorship in other divisions are widely availably.

Cons

Managing egos and the political game inside out side of our dept. can be challenging at times.
