      Great Place to Work

      Pros

      The name is really important; it's reputable and prominent. NBC Universal is known throughout the world, so this name will increase the number of people who look at your resume. As an assistant, my two supervisors have given me more responsibility due to my ability to grasp new concepts easily. This is great because it allows me to sharpen old skills and gain new ones. More responsibility also means potential to grow within the company, and the recommendations will come in handy. Lastly, it's a great place to work because the lot is always lively. You may catch a "Desperate Housewife" driving or see Tom Cruise in your elevator! :)

      Cons

      I am a contract employee, so it's hard to have an "in" when you're just a contract employee.

      THE UNIVERSE IS YOURS AT NBC/UNIVERSAL

      Pros

      The best reason to work for NBC Universal is that our parent company GE has folded in amazing development tools to take any career to the next level. GE is a GLOBAL company which means if you do the work you can go anywhere in the universe with the company. They even pay for all of your college if you want.

      Cons

      The downside is that it's a very political culture and there are the "do you know who I am" LA LA attitudes here. I dont know that it would be like that somewhere else in the company probably only here in Los Angeles. Maybe NY.

      not a bad place to get industry experience

      Pros

      NBC Universal has a lot going on with it's network, cable, local media and film divisions, and it's reasonably easy to move into new positions provided you have performed well in your previous role. There's something energizing about working at 30 Rock although the other offices in Manhattan can be pretty depressing. As far as media conglomerates go, NBC is as open to change as any, but that's compared to a peer group that has been virtually stagnant for the better part of this decade. Overall, a decent place to work for a few years, get some name brand experience, and then leave.

      Cons

      The management team at NBC Universal is old and acts old. This is a major problem considering the current state of the industry and the dire need to rapidly transform the business. There are too many management positions and not enough arms and legs to do the real work. The company also suffers from being incredibly indecisive and can take forever to make decisions. This is largely because there are so many layers of management but only a few people who are authorized to make decisions. While there are certainly some smart and capable workers at NBC, the company also really struggles to hire smart, young people, which is unacceptable considering the brand cache of NGBC.
