Interesting, dynamic media company that has gone through many transitions in the past five years.

Pros

Lots of work to be done with smart people across many departments that can potentially impact the entire company.

Cons

Long hours, LOTS of politics, toll-gate/red-tape processes to get anything approved / work done. Wages are mediocre at best. Lots of leadership is in place due to attrition - not the best, most intelligent, well-equipped people in management due to this factor.

SNL Intern

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Learned a lot of hands on experience. You have to be willing to drop everything else going on in your life and dedicate yourself 100 per cent. Working for SNL is an experience I would never forget. It's highly competitive and to get in looks great on your resume. They are very strict, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, considering the many celebrities that come in and out of the studio. Very fast paced environment but don't mess up!!! Pay close attention to everything!

Cons

The pay is terrible. You are doing grunt work but you cannot live off of the pay. Also, the atmosphere is very cliquish. The rotation of interns is very high so they tend to treat you as such. Because of this, there isn't really the ability to "move up." Interns are simply, unfortunately, just interns.
