      Pros

      "Sexy" industry, decent work life balance(can depend on role and division, but for most part, tolerable), most superiors genuinely care about your development, teams willing to share credit and tout the good work of others, fantastic/generous company benefits, great entry-level training programs

      Cons

      Not always great communication between and within divisions, corporate environment can limit creativity, cross-functional roles not always encouraged, perks not widespread (concentrated within certain divisons, employees, or groups), training not as touted/widespread-requires being proactive, not very flexible on movements within parent company (General Electric)

      Working in MIS is the single one most uninspiring, boring, not-progressive, depressing experience of my 20 year career.

      Pros

      The theme park is free.

      Cons

      I worked in IT, so I'm sure entertainment is different, but IT at NBC was the most boring, not progressive, depressing experience I have ever experienced in my life. This company was heavily trying to leverage outsourcing which might work in some situations, but not for everything, and employees are their to manage the contractors. Everyone there seemed miserable. The office was the most depressing office...something straight out of a government office from the 70's. No Office Space fun here. And the complete opposite of a progressive, exciting startup company.

      Pros

      Brand Name - Many opportunities, since GE is parent company

      Cons

      Too Lean. Proper structures are not in place to execute efficiently specially in support organizations such as IT, Finance etc, Business demand is growing but support organizations are not able to run multiple projects
