Pros

Good benefits Smart, hard-working employees Fun, creative work environment Worldwide brand recognition

Cons

Senior management is out of touch with new technologies impacting the business Hierarchy and convoluted org structure impedes decisions from being made quickly Many groups within the company are working on similar projects and "reinventing the wheel" without knowing it. Old boys club where well-connected people get hired into good positions even if they are not the most qualified. Not enough minorities in senior management.

Pros

It's media ... where else can you say Jimmy Fallon in the elevator and Brian Williams at lunch? Definitely an interesting area, with a lot of room to learn and make a difference.

Cons

I feel that the HR and management here is by far the worst I've ever seen. There's many days that I just want to leave the company due to their incompetence, and am usually in a frustrated state with any of my dealings with them. It seems like a generally uncontrolled chaos that magically comes up with decisions that impact the rest of the organization.

Pros

NBC Universal's market position is excellent as it is one of the leaders in the space. I worked in the digital media unit and this is an exciting area of innovation for it's web properties and new media initiatives. Hulu has proven to be a enormous success and is redefining the content distribution and ad revenue model. Another great reason to work at NBC is the level is prestige associated with this company is very appealing. And with GE as the parent company, the company distinguishes itself from other large media companies by using principles adopted by GE.

Cons

Sometimes you have to go through a lot of red tape to get simple things done at NBC. This is probably due to the sheer size of the organization. And although NBC is adopting innovative technologies for their digital properties, the way the departments are structured remains embedded in traditional media thinking. For instance the groups seem to be hierarchical, with clear divisions of seniority structured by titles, and people tend to stay within them.
