Pros

Wonderful people, Comcast is shaking things up (trust me, they need it), opportunity to work on some of the best products and brands in the business, looks great on the resume

Cons

Poor communication across NBC division, four main groups (entertainment, sports, news and affils) operate like little fiefdoms making it difficult to get things done, incompetent HR department, little to no manager training, pockets of innovation but the organization sometimes seems very stuck in its ways and fear of failure among the employees contributes directly to lack of innovative thinking. Dingy building (30 Rock) and old equipment.

Talented people, but too many structural changes are starting to affect productivity

Business Outlook

Pros

One of the biggest media companies in the countries, great perks, and management that is very well connected in the industry.

Cons

Not a lot of upward mobility and you're a small fish in a big sea, which restricts your level of contribution. Also, since the Comcast merger a few years ago, there have been too many structural changes in top level executive management that trickled down to affect the employees on the front line. To make matters worse, there is no communication of these "changes" from top-down. They're usually sudden and don't come with a heads up. Not a very stable ground to be in right now.
