Pros

Very smart, dedicated, and talented co-workers. It’s the only reason this NBCU location has had any success.

Cons

Senior leadership does not know how to plan for growth. Work/life balance does not exist. Unrealistic workload and timelines. The next big project is already committed to before the resources are even available from the last project. Leadership will talk about how great the culture is, but because everyone is over worked, the real culture has become a game of CYA and finger pointing. No time to learn from past mistakes, so you end up doing the same work many times

Pros

The health benefits and literally nothing else

Cons

-Absolutely toxic culture with the ploy of a bunch of mandatory employee culture trainings to act like they care when they are nothing but hypocrites -All equipment is broken with constant bandaids added by engineering and then outages are blamed on employees when the upper management KNOWS everything is broken -You can report harassment and abuse time stamped, dated, and ON CAMERA, and still your complaints ‘cannot be proven’. -Forced 10 minute breaks only that cannot be combined -‘Managers’ who have no idea how to be managers -They will cut the budget and perks for employees anywhere they can for no reason. Watched it go so unbelievably downhill over almost 10 years -Got rid of the mother’s room breast feeding room to create a gender neutral bathroom. -Gaslighting and direct victim blaming by senior management when HR complaints are raised -They care more about diversity and inclusion than anything regarding the healthy, safety, sanity, or well being of their ‘essential’ employees -horrible food -it’s just a machine. They don’t care on single bit. Just keep the audio and video on the air of their precious content -no extra compensation or perks for training other employees

Pros

Access to Studios and some star sitings

Cons

Where to start hmmm. IT organization is full of politics, back biting and frankly rude people. If you have worked in any decent company, you will squirm every single day. Managers have no idea about technology and mostly this place is run by Contractors/IT Outsourcing companies.
