Pros

- SOME teams are very good. NBC is such a large company that I'm sure there's a great working environment in some other division somewhere. Plus, the fact that it's such a large company means you can jump to other areas if you really want. - Name: I think this one's interesting because I've spoken honestly about my negative experience to some people, and they still wanted to work there.

Cons

- Politics and incompetence on crack. - Leadership gives excuses for a poor working environment. Their language made me feel like a slave, and in some ways it was true because, for various personal reasons, I couldn't leave. - Leadership has a 'just do it. i don't care how it's done, and if you don't deliver, there will be repercussions' attitude. - Not very innovative. NBC is not a tech company, but they think they are. The proof lies in the fact that they don't innovate and just follow whatever trend Netflix is doing. - They spend too much time on social media saying what a great workplace they are. - HR is a constant disappointment. - I full heartedly believe that working at NBC gave me bouts of depression. I would go to sleep dreading the next day and feeling a terrible weight on my mind. Sometimes it felt like someone was standing on my chest and suffocating me. I'm better now though.
