Pros

Great corporate events IF you work at the Miracle Mile location(don't work at the Lot aka Universal City location). Relaxed attire. Constant free swag, surprise food/drink parties, events, and screenings. Great farmers market at the courtyard every Wednesday all year long. Courtyard being renovated to be more user-friendly to employees. Decent luncheons options within walking distance. Half-day Fridays during the summer season.

Cons

G4 department was completely laid-off in a move to expand and rebrand to Esquire. Then Style department was completely laid-off in a move to expand and rebrand to instead become Esquire. Now G4 is back the way it was, sans all the employees. It's difficult to move up internally. Parking structure is difficult to get in and out unscathed. I.T. department is not that great, but better than NBCU's corporate I.T. from India! Since the merger from E!/GE/Comcast to NBCU, NBCU has inundated how they do things into our already regular-flowing-happy ways, makes things more difficult and not as appealing. Due to this merger and how corporate things are getting, long-time employees and those there pre-merger are extremely dissatisfied with their jobs.

The pace of execution can be slow, strategic direction and priorities are not always clear, and opportunities for promotion and career advancement are relatively limited.
