NBCUniversal reviews

This place is a complete mad house. Constant shift in priorities with toxic and cut throat upper level management. There is zero structure and there are constant reorgs. It is completely chaotic. You are just a battery pack/cog in the system, and once you burn out, they will throw you out and replace you with zero qualms. Everyone is siloed and covering their own back. There is zero collaboration with other teams. You will also get randomly thrown on projects and work on things outside of your skill set and what they actually hired you to do. Extremely poor delegation and talent placement. They just care about the bottom line and getting work done to make themselves look good and will throw anyone they can on any random project to do so. The people that work here are also extremely annoying. I once had a coworker say directly to my face that they were purposely "going to trip me up" during our code review. What kind of engineering culture is that?! There was also another person who would constantly interject with out of context political stances in the middle of professional calls. No one cares about your personal politics, we're here to do a job. It's so ridiculous. If you want to burn out fast, work with toxic people, and not even do the role you were hired to do then this is the place for you. Listen to the bad reviews, they are not fake. Your career will rust and die here. I can't wait to get out.

Like several media companies, there's no opportunity for growth and advancement. I've seen many hired interns exploited until they burn out. Then they're discarded and replaced with the next fresh slab of meat. Antiquated company structure that did not scale well to industry demands. Current employees were faced with the task to perform well above the norm. Sacrificing personal life, enduring emotional strain and compromising one's health. Beware of the inept HR department. Their sole purpose is to protect the company and not the employee. Even if the employee(s) have legitimate issues. And if issues are reported to HR, you can be certain those employees will be terminated. Copious staff meetings that are completely unnecessary which lead to team inefficiencies and large amounts of wasted time. At least the managers will leave the meeting with a sense of self-worth. Over the years I've seen several questionable business practices within this company. Such as eliminating one particular ethnicity to reach a company quota for diversity. (Which in itself is racist.) Upper management engaging in unprofessional personal affairs. Unnecessary large amounts of money spent on expensive remodeling, selective catering and undeserved managerial bonuses. Much of that capital could have been used to further the advancement of the employees well-being. And not lastly, complete suppression of opinions from employees who are trying to make the company a better place. I do not recommend working here and urge anyone interested to steer clear. There are much better options out there.
