I worked at NBCUniversal

Pros – Great people. NBC hires very well.
They also train up well, grooming people for the next level.

Cons – They are beholden to their stock holders, which means some decisions may not make sense from a productivity, staffing or best practice standpoint, but it squeezes out a little more money and so gets done.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep hiring well, keep training well. Listen to your employees.
