Pros

Some good benefits and work/life flexibility if you're in the right division/department. SNL.

Cons

Absolutely terrible hostile leadership. Toxic, abusive and competitive environment. Extremely male, white cis male-centric, outdated ideas about work and the responsibility of mainstream media. I was there while the strike was going on and although we could hear the chants of the picket lines outside during meetings, there was never a single discussion about it internally. I was also there one of the many times that Jimmy Fallon was called out for hostile and abusive work environment, and Jeff Shell was ousted for sexual misconduct - these instances are not an aberration- this is the environment there. Good ideas were ALWAYS stolen by higher ups without giving credit, and mistakes were called out and employees publicly humiliated and shamed for them. The pay disparity is also appalling - I was reporting to someone who made at least 15X what I was making on base salary alone.

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.
