NBCUniversal reviews

Unless you end up in the exact field or department you want to be in, moving around and advancing to another area is actually difficult despite being in the company already. In order to make a switch or jump to a different department be prepared to know someone (however I guess that goes for any type of job or company really...). Unfortunately, HR only does so much and submitting internal applications doesn't mean they will look at your resume at all. I've applied to a few different jobs in different areas from where I work and unless you know someone and can track down the specific hiring manager, chances are it won't be seen. There are some difficult people to work with, but that goes for any company really. Working in the news department often means working odd hours and on the weekends, however this is kind of expected and I can't hold it against NBC, however scheduling can definitely be more thought out and considerate of people's lives outside of work.

Poor communication across NBC division, four main groups (entertainment, sports, news and affils) operate like little fiefdoms making it difficult to get things done, incompetent HR department, little to no manager training, pockets of innovation but the organization sometimes seems very stuck in its ways and fear of failure among the employees contributes directly to lack of innovative thinking. Dingy building (30 Rock) and old equipment.
