I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at NBCUniversal in Apr 2020
Interview
Very extensive interview process - Multiple video interviews, a skills test where you have to come up with new concepts and ideas, and multiple references. Takes multiple weeks to hear back
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at NBCUniversal (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
Made it to the final round consisting of 2 30minute in person interviews (1 10minute phone call, 2 zoom 30 min interviews). Waited over 2 months to hear back if I got the job or not. Ended up getting denied. Asked for feedback. Waited another month. Got told "The team is simply looking for someone with more years of experience supporting executives."
Poor communication and transparency during the process. And a waste of time to deny me for something that can be seen on my resume.

Interview
An long-haul interview process that takes about 2 months overall. I had one phone interview, 2 zoom interviews, and 1 in-person interview. Their HR team is very friendly and professional, but this definitely is not a quick process. Expect to speak to multiple team members and executives.
