Pros

Benefits and perks. Nothing else really.

Cons

Culture is terrible. No structure. Micromanaging. Disrespectful and unprofessional management. They stretch roles to the max, and they don’t care about their people. No support to retain talent. Lots of hush money.

Pros

Company as a whole is excellent, and a positive environment. There are really fun network opportunities. There is an opportunity to be exposed to so many different exciting areas as NBC is involved in streaming, TV, theme parks, content production, etc.

Cons

Environment can be extremely political. There was huge turn over in technical ad sales. There are several poor middle managers, and it contributes to recent high attrition. Nothing is done to address poor middle management, and therefore it contributes to a very poor work culture (depending on the group you work with).

Pros

- SOME teams are very good. NBC is such a large company that I'm sure there's a great working environment in some other division somewhere. Plus, the fact that it's such a large company means you can jump to other areas if you really want. - Name: I think this one's interesting because I've spoken honestly about my negative experience to some people, and they still wanted to work there.

Cons

- Politics and incompetence on crack. - Leadership gives excuses for a poor working environment. Their language made me feel like a slave, and in some ways it was true because, for various personal reasons, I couldn't leave. - Leadership has a 'just do it. i don't care how it's done, and if you don't deliver, there will be repercussions' attitude. - Not very innovative. NBC is not a tech company, but they think they are. The proof lies in the fact that they don't innovate and just follow whatever trend Netflix is doing. - They spend too much time on social media saying what a great workplace they are. - HR is a constant disappointment. - I full heartedly believe that working at NBC gave me bouts of depression. I would go to sleep dreading the next day and feeling a terrible weight on my mind. Sometimes it felt like someone was standing on my chest and suffocating me. I'm better now though.
