Pros

This review is for NBC Entertainment & Digital... They definitely have a 'no a**hole policy'. Most people are great to work with and collaborative. The company tries its best to boost moral with tons of events on the lot (screenings, panels, etc) and seasonal gifts (beach towel, water bottles, etc).

Cons

There's a lot of politics involved. It's tough to get things done because there are so many checks and balances. Approvals funnel up and by the time they've passed every level, the original concept has turned into a Frankenstein that doesn't resemble your initial idea at all. After awhile, coming up with fresh, new ideas felt disheartening from the moment they were pitched, because it seemed like they would would be DOA. Promotions are also few and far between. The teams are very lean, so there isn't a ton of room for growth.

Pros

Flexible work hours. Decent gym - though cost is prohibitive. Some good perks/kit.

Cons

Vacation/PDO time is ok, but not great. Too many rogue people who are more focused on personal gain, rather than the greater good. They hand out VP titles like candy here, which feeds egos and achieves little else. Everything is smoke and mirrors - there is always motive or underlying agenda to decision-making.
