Pros

Great 401k and nice workspace. If you want a place where you just keep your head down, are fine with being expected to work more than 8-hour days every day then you'll last until you burn out.

Cons

• Healthcare not as good as it was • Department is headed by nepotism so any hope for advancement relies in being in the favor of upper management • Micro-managing time has become rampant due to firing or promoting of competent managers so that those left running things are at the apex of the "Peter Principle" • Not really open to new ideas/approaches as they'd rather play safe and keep things how they've always been and upper management generally ignores those below them.

Pros

Benefits and perks. Nothing else really.

Cons

Culture is terrible. No structure. Micromanaging. Disrespectful and unprofessional management. They stretch roles to the max, and they don’t care about their people. No support to retain talent. Lots of hush money.

Pros

Company as a whole is excellent, and a positive environment. There are really fun network opportunities. There is an opportunity to be exposed to so many different exciting areas as NBC is involved in streaming, TV, theme parks, content production, etc.

Cons

Environment can be extremely political. There was huge turn over in technical ad sales. There are several poor middle managers, and it contributes to recent high attrition. Nothing is done to address poor middle management, and therefore it contributes to a very poor work culture (depending on the group you work with).
