Demoralizing work environment

Pros

Big entertainment company - exposed to many technologies - Potential opportunities to move around in the company - If you are on the management track, many training opportunities exist. Due to its very fast paced process and numerous projects you get to become more creative to handle the workload.

Cons

Very Political environment with pretty incompetent management. It's a fraternal environment and you have to be part of the click in order to get promoted. Overwhelming volume of work and they don't give any importance to technical staff in IT - since they look at technical staff as disposable and replaceable by very aggressive outsourcing that they do. High expectation with none or very minimal compensation in return.

NBC Universal: Big company with little care.

Pros

There are so many opportunities to work and learn beyond your department. There's always room to shift between cable networks, since NBC Universal owns a handful of them. They're all very reputable and very entertaining. Personally, I prefer entertainment over informational programming, so this is the place to be. Although rewards are few and in between, despite having a great performance quarter, I still love it here. In exchange for little reward, there is also little pressure and stress while working. But the need to succeed is still there, there is a great balance for the work ethic the company is searching for.

Cons

NBC Universal is like the parent that never paid enough attention to their children. So if the child got a billion straight A's, there's barely a pat on the back. So the main downside is the lack of reward and support from management when a job is done well. That downside obviously stems from the fact that NBC Universal is a very large company where everyone can get lost in the giant sea of employees. The lack of attention that the big wigs give to their employees is not so pleasant, but then again that might drive people to do a better job and to outshine.
