NBCUniversal Digital Products & Interactive Media (DPIM)

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

One of the best reasons to join this team is that they build products which support the other NBCUniversal properties. You really are part of a bigger system, and you get to work on the infrastructure and things behind some of the biggest names and coolest brands.

Cons

This particular department appears to be devaluing technical innovation and high-end engineering resources. There seems to be an attitude that all engineers are created equal. However, while everyone who graduates med school is a doctor, many doctors specialize in a specific field. Likewise, while it's reasonable to expect most software developers to use common strategies and approaches, even a generalist has some degree of specialization, even if it's based primarily on what they worked on most recently.

Great company to work for but experience will vary greatly between business group. Salary stagnation is common.

Business Outlook

Pros

Like any large corporation that operates simultaneously different businesses, employee experiences will vary greatly, but NBCUniversal manages to weave the culture together at the high level. After the Comcast acquisition, it has slowly turned into a forward-thinking organization encouraging creative ideas from its staff. Leadership from upper management is frequently visible and positive.

Cons

Wage stagnation can be a big issue here. There is no set salary range for jobs so departments can assign whatever they want for their staff and salary fluctuations increase the higher up you go. New hires tend to get paid significantly higher than those who have been here longer while performing the same job. However, there is plenty of opportunities here to make up for lost salary growth. Do not get complacent performing the same job for over five years because that is when your salary will start to lag.
