Smartest people are leaving for FAANG

Pros

Good work life balance Good brand to have on resume Nice campus and amenities Lots of interesting events to be part of

Cons

The smartest people are leaving for FAANG and the company is not doing anything to pay competitively. Netflix has been the number one poacher of our talent according to LinkedIn. I recently joined Netflix and the pay and culture is light years ahead of where NBCU is. Had NBC paid me more to stay, I would never have thought twice of joining Netflix because I really enjoyed and miss working with my co-workers there for so many years, but I have a feeling one day they will rejoin me here, given the trend.

Once great company shredded by bean counters who destroyed its culture

Senior vice president creative director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Legacy as one of the great media companies of all time, but no more.

Cons

You know you're in trouble when the single largest division of the company is ad sales. Not content. Ad sales. Once mighty and envied, NBCU took too long to get into the streaming business and then put a group of people who had no idea what they were doing in charge of it. And in the process, new CEO Jeff Shell and his bean counters decimated the corporate culture by shredding countless divisions in the name of shoring up the disaster that is now Peacock.
