Pros

NBCUniversal has a big array of business units that provide amazing work environments. The brand alone is strong should you want to work in entertainment

Cons

Choose the business unit wisely, there are some that do not provide a work life balance. There is a huge disconnect between leadership and the actual staff executing the work.

Pros

- Employees are smart. - All brands are leading the industry. - State of the art everything. - Great company benefits. - Etc

Cons

Some (not all) of the management teams can be toxic - squandering employee growt to further their own agendas/careers. Many people go from team to team to try to find the teams that don't behave this way.

Pros

Dynamic company, varied projects, great people. Benefits package is good but slowly falling behind other media companies ( lack of flexibility). Comprehensive training programs.

Cons

endemic macro management, lack of independence, highly political. Resource always an issue and decision making can be diabolical. Lack clear career progression.
