Pros

The only pro was the community created among coworkers (non management) to survive the absolute torture that was working at NBCU international. The International Interstitials department is the only good department.

Cons

Management fails upwards driving out any real talent. The corporate culture is creatively stifling. Time is constantly wasted in meetings where nothing is accomplished. Zero accountability placed upon management. HR does not care if you get harassed by management in any way; emotionally, sexually, physically. Across all of NBCUniversal, The Los Angeles International office scores the lowest on the employee satisfaction survey every single year.

Pros

So much opportunity at NBCU, great company values, amazing talent and content and good compensation. Overall if you excel at NBCU you are talented and very dedicated to your work and the company.

Cons

A bad boss is like cancer, you can prolong life but you can't get rid of the cancer. The one downfall at NBCU is human resources role is to protect the company and they represent your boss. It took a year to ruin the department and 17 people lost their jobs.

IT management in UK letting down the company badly. Director level shocking!

Pros

Fantastic perks through the screenings and loads of freebies. Cool work environment and passionate people. The name brings in talent but the IT department is run by the most shocking management I have ever seen in my 20 years working in technology departments. arrogant management teams spend their time playing golf in the office or creating excuses to travel far and wide. Staff who are responsible for operations get overloaded while management chill out and boss around the juniors. Disgusting.

Cons

When the new management took over . They spend your companies hard earned cash on themselves with MacBooks and iPads and every gadget then they tell you they have no budget for staff below management. Our operations will be stuck in the 80s style management. Feel so sorry for apprentices who are stuck on the desk and never taught a thing, I'm now looking for a new job now, I've had enough and tired of telling my manager of the issues and he just says, it's out of my hands nothing we can do!
