Pros

Exposed to all the workings of an overall exciting and positive company (owned by Comcast) that includes SNL, Tonight Show w Jimmy Fallon, lots of cable channels (USA, SyFy, Bravo, Oxygen, COZI, more) and of course tons of News. 30 Rock is a great place with lots of history, good cafeteria, and prime views of the Rockefeller ice rink and Christmas tree. Great benefits, company phone, generally pleasant environment for such a huge corporation.

Cons

Specifically for IT- it's pretty amazing how nickel and dime and low-priority it seems deemed except everyone always needs help right away and lots of hand holding to understand even how to use technology. It also has a very healthy dose of nepotism which makes changing roles (jobs) within the company next to impossible on merit alone.

Pros

Energetic and creative work atmosphere, and the company is going in a generally positive direction. The perks are also really great - from movies to theme park attraction screenings.

Cons

All departments are overloaded with work, and there are not enough resources to assist with the growth of the company. The company should really look at staffing appropriately so that great talent does not burn out.
