Pluspunten

There were some perks such as discounts to retailers and GE Applicances. Also, since NBC Universal is a household name, by just working there, doors can be opened in other avenues. Within NBCU, there is an opportunity for growth and moveablitity to other departments, since it is such a large company.

Minpunten

As an employee, I worked very hard at my job and was barely ever recognized. I would work an average of 60 hours (thanks to my Blackberry) per week and felt like I was unable to have a good work/life balance. I felt very pressured by management to perform, and would give it my all. However, when it came time for reviews, I was not given the recognition I deserved. I would have been happy with a good job, but the reviews only highlighted what I needed to work on, and not what I accomplished. It was very discouraging. HR also had an unfair advantage in the way the employees were rated. I think that they looked at the reviews given by managers and interpreted what they meant. It would have been best to sit down with the managers who gave the reviews to fully understand how they were rating their employees. Overall, I don't think the company paid competitively and the employees were not appreciated.

Pluspunten

NBCUniversal is full of smart, funny, talented people who genuinely care about the work. I learned a tremendous amount there, especially about programming, production, audience strategy, brand management, budgets, talent, internal politics, and how a major media company actually functions when the glossy press release meets the spreadsheet. The brands are still powerful. NBC, Peacock, Bravo, USA, SYFY, E!, and the broader portfolio have real history, real audiences, and real cultural weight. When the company is aligned, it can move beautifully. You get exposure to major shows, high-level conversations, complex productions, and the kind of institutional knowledge you cannot really get anywhere smaller. It is also a place where you can build real taste and real judgment. You see what works, what almost works, what dies in a conference room, and what somehow survives three leadership changes and a budget cut.

Minpunten

The biggest downside is instability. NBCUniversal has been through major structural change, including the cable network spinoff into Versant, divestitures, reorganizations, and significant layoffs. That kind of uncertainty changes the job. You are not just doing the work. You are trying to understand which version of the company you work for this quarter. Decision-making can also be slow and heavily layered. There are a lot of smart people, but sometimes too many of them need to bless the same sentence, deck, cut, budget, or idea. The result is that good work can get sanded down, delayed, or rerouted through a maze wearing a lanyard. The company also asks people to do more with less, then less with less, then somehow make it feel premium. That is exhausting. Especially for employees who care deeply and are trying to protect the creative, the business, and their own sanity without being handed a map.
