Pros

No accountability. Decisions are made on a whim. Moving forward with things is impossible so if you want to hang out for like 9 months before they find something for you to work on, this is great.

Cons

Erratic and emotionally driven leaders result in lots of reorgs and politicking

Pros

Good work-life balance, the office is deserted by 5:15pm.

Cons

This company is too large, which makes it easy for terrible management to run wild. HR at NBCUniversal is well-known across the entertainment and media industries to be god-awful, and in my experience that's entirely true. No concern for the development or well-being of employees.

Pros

Great Benefits. Plenty of opportunities for growth. Large Matrix organization across many entertainment areas.

Cons

Continuous cycle of executive management at the C-level turn-over every 5-7 years that repeat the same process of laying off large numbers of people to reduce costs. This also allows executives to hit their target and receive a nice bonus for the savings.
