Pros

Very good health benefits and 401k. There is always room for growth and advancement but its all up to you, if you are a hard worker and speak up, the opportunities are there for you. If you are right out of college, it is a great place to gain experience especially in the field of production and communications. They have a great entry level program called the Page Program which is highly competitive, you have to go through various interviews but if you get in, its a great opportunity to learn about all the different departments of NBC. The program involves giving tours as well as filling in at any department that might need assistance. When you are done with the program you get to interview for any open postions within the company. I was never a Page but my department hired many former Pages who moved on to working in Advertising, Production and Casting.

Cons

They are not as diverse as they claim to be..not enough diverse upper management. Need to also work on better training for their employees. Very long hours and usually pay is not that great.

Pros

Great "VIP" pass for your family and friends at the theme parks

Cons

Unless you work in new venture, the business is pretty dull (a bit like a utility company). Very risk averse company. Very slow and "matrixed" decision process. A lot of "lifers" in middle management ranks that resist change.
