Pros

I was lucky to make some amazing connections and life long friends while working at NBC Universal. There's a pretty decent work life balance. Everyone works hard and can take part in the perks; theme parks, benefits, movie screenings & sports tickets.

Cons

Though the company is growing as a whole, my department was stagnant and everyone seemed complacent. Everyone has to "pay their dues" but when you're due the company might not be ready for you, delaying your ability to grow. You'll need to use connections to learn what is available at other networks. Overall, a traditional corporate environment. Entry Level positions are payed low. Low raises.

Pros

Great "VIP" pass for your family and friends at the theme parks

Cons

Unless you work in new venture, the business is pretty dull (a bit like a utility company). Very risk averse company. Very slow and "matrixed" decision process. A lot of "lifers" in middle management ranks that resist change.
