Pros

solidly managed especially on the film side, keeps growing operating profits and keeps adding big brands to its portfolio; excellent facilities and really feels like a top-class media company

Cons

top-down management culture, limited autonomy, senior leaders manage with fear, slow wage growth and promotions, wasteful assignments and spending. Many groups housed under one roof but little collaboration between them. Trying hard to "get digital" but middle management lacks skills and mandate to really do it.

NBCUniversal offers an excellent work-life balance in a low-pressure, supportive environment with friendly colleagues. The projects are interesting and have an impact on a broad audience, and the company provides a stable workplace.

The pace of execution can be slow, strategic direction and priorities are not always clear, and opportunities for promotion and career advancement are relatively limited.
