Pros

The current employees at NBC.com are good hardworking people, you won't find much of a culture there but there isn't much office politics either, which I guess is good. Current management is an improvement compared to the last regime before Comcast which was a disaster. Salaries are average as well as benefits, an excellent 401K. If you make it thru the work week, they serve up FREE bagels on Friday with a splendid selection of cream cheeses.

Cons

• Promotions are only in upper management. • 2% raises with no bonuses for the little guy EVER! • Product development is all outsourced so put away your portfolio cause your not going to have anything to show your next employer. • Thousands of dollars wasted on vendors that over charge and under perform. • Zero culture with a revolving door. • Management under values current employee talent and does not communicate well. • Micro managing at it's worst during any crisis. • Upper NBC Universal management has zero understanding of the importance of consumer engagement with products and has an old school advertising mentality of just delivering a message thru cheap graphics and one liners.

Pros

Great perks and benefits! Free theme park tickets, cable, peacock subscription. Good place for interns

Cons

Entry level pay is very poor and not sustainable. Lot of politics when it comes to promotions and it is based more on relationship with management rather than actual performance. Upper management just takes all your work and presents as their own. Fake it till you make is at every level of this organization. Hired people as remote and now is laying everyone off.
