Pros

NBC employees are very professional, pleasant to work with and hard working. They treat their interns and fellows with respect; i learned a lot about the tv news business and they give a lot of support in furthering your career.

Cons

NBC has a very young staff in some areas; many of whom are new to the company and unfamiliar with how it works. I found the equipment to be lagging behind a little and the technology not as up-to-date as I anticipated.

Business Outlook

Pros

The people I worked with were incredibley helpful, friendly, and competent. As an intern I was given some very fun and interesting opportunities, not only in terms of work. I handled real projects and had real responsibilities. I was not in charge of bringing people coffee or other cliche intern tasks. I felt appreciated and respected at all times.

Cons

I don't know how much the internship goes toward helping you land a real job with the company. But otherwise, there were very few cons to my experience.
