Industry in a downward spiral

Pros

NBC is still an impressive brand and gets attention.

Cons

Comcast is a heartless company and destroys the NBC brand more and more each year. But they really have no choice. TV is dying. The broadcast and cable industry is doomed. Not a good long term career move.

Pros

The current employees at NBC.com are good hardworking people, you won't find much of a culture there but there isn't much office politics either, which I guess is good. Current management is an improvement compared to the last regime before Comcast which was a disaster. Salaries are average as well as benefits, an excellent 401K. If you make it thru the work week, they serve up FREE bagels on Friday with a splendid selection of cream cheeses.

Cons

• Promotions are only in upper management. • 2% raises with no bonuses for the little guy EVER! • Product development is all outsourced so put away your portfolio cause your not going to have anything to show your next employer. • Thousands of dollars wasted on vendors that over charge and under perform. • Zero culture with a revolving door. • Management under values current employee talent and does not communicate well. • Micro managing at it's worst during any crisis. • Upper NBC Universal management has zero understanding of the importance of consumer engagement with products and has an old school advertising mentality of just delivering a message thru cheap graphics and one liners.

Hard work, long hours; totally worth it!

Pros

The talent level is elite, the resources are infinite, and the attitude is as Type-A as you can get. This combination of traits creates a team atmosphere that allows each of us to individually strive. The benefits are what you would expect of a company of this size, while the perks are actually much more uncommon, as there are constant opportunities unique to only the TV, film, and content provider industries.

Cons

As previously mentioned, the hours are a bear. We can be a bit understaffed at times, mostly due to turnover amongst the younger employees. This can cause an overwhelming workload for many of us, especially during peak times.
