NBCUniversal reviews

NBC Universal is like the parent that never paid enough attention to their children. So if the child got a billion straight A's, there's barely a pat on the back. So the main downside is the lack of reward and support from management when a job is done well. That downside obviously stems from the fact that NBC Universal is a very large company where everyone can get lost in the giant sea of employees. The lack of attention that the big wigs give to their employees is not so pleasant, but then again that might drive people to do a better job and to outshine.

Senior management -- VP's and Senior VP's -- consistently didn't know their ass from their elbow. They might have MBA's, but they didn't know (and worse, really didn't care!) a damn thing about how to do the actual day-to-day boots on the ground kind of work that we grunts were doing. They were also unreceptive to suggestions from staff. Hours for the grunts were very long, because of the need for on-site synchronization with the weekly TV schedule, but VP's were usually gone from the office by 6:01 PM. Consequently, staff turnover was unusually high, resulting in continual losses of institutional knowledge, and morale was low.
