Pros

Working at NBC has cache - it's just cool to say you work at NBC

Cons

1. Very low pay 2. Boring work working with horribly rude sales people 3. Aggressive, over-bearing manager who stunted my career progression by literally taking work from me. She frequently praised my work so it was like she didn't want me to outperform her. 4. Unequal distribution of work on my team. I was the only black person on my team and consistently got assigned less work than my teammates despite performing better than them, having more technical skills and constantly asking for more work 5. White people got away with murder and there was a double-standard in what was expected if you're a POC. White Coworker got violently drunk at a party and a VP laughed about it with her the next day. A white director frequently snapped at my colleagues and wrote rude emails and it was brushed off. One time i didn't sound chipper enough when speaking to my manager and she took me to HR. 6. When I called out all of the biases I observed, the HR exec and the management on my team literally pushed me out. HR emailed me every week asking about my last date and the managers literally stopped acknowledging my existence purposefully going out of their way to ignore me. I wish I had a stronger case or I would've sued them. 7. They treat internal candidates horribly. Before all of the drama, I applied for several internal roles and they don't even have the courtesy to send rejection notes after you interview.

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.
