Pros

This review is for NBC Entertainment & Digital... They definitely have a 'no a**hole policy'. Most people are great to work with and collaborative. The company tries its best to boost moral with tons of events on the lot (screenings, panels, etc) and seasonal gifts (beach towel, water bottles, etc).

Cons

There's a lot of politics involved. It's tough to get things done because there are so many checks and balances. Approvals funnel up and by the time they've passed every level, the original concept has turned into a Frankenstein that doesn't resemble your initial idea at all. After awhile, coming up with fresh, new ideas felt disheartening from the moment they were pitched, because it seemed like they would would be DOA. Promotions are also few and far between. The teams are very lean, so there isn't a ton of room for growth.

Pros

Great perks and benefits! Free theme park tickets, cable, peacock subscription. Good place for interns

Cons

Entry level pay is very poor and not sustainable. Lot of politics when it comes to promotions and it is based more on relationship with management rather than actual performance. Upper management just takes all your work and presents as their own. Fake it till you make is at every level of this organization. Hired people as remote and now is laying everyone off.
