Pros

Its great to have NBCU on your resume. They have great benefits packages (especially pension if you stay long enough to get vested). There are also cool perks like being able to get close up to the concerts in the morning if you know the right people.

Cons

You tend to be a cog in the wheel here. Everyone-including VPs/SVPs-complains about having to work so much, yet the culture that they instigate themselves is work first, family second. Most people felt guilty taking an hour off in the morning to go to a doctor's appointment. It was also very hard to maintain a positive attitude with everyone complaining about the amount of work and criticizing coworkers behind their backs.
