Pros

With several network brands under one umbrella there is a lot of opportunity to move around. Great benefits. Pressure to perform is not wrapped up in an overly-intense and chaotic environment.

Cons

Pay is on the lower end of the spectrum. With most large corporations, politics and playing the game are more important than quality of content.

Decent Work/ Life Balance... No place to move.

Pros

I was lucky to make some amazing connections and life long friends while working at NBC Universal. There's a pretty decent work life balance. Everyone works hard and can take part in the perks; theme parks, benefits, movie screenings & sports tickets.

Cons

Though the company is growing as a whole, my department was stagnant and everyone seemed complacent. Everyone has to "pay their dues" but when you're due the company might not be ready for you, delaying your ability to grow. You'll need to use connections to learn what is available at other networks. Overall, a traditional corporate environment. Entry Level positions are payed low. Low raises.
