Pros
The name still carries cache and can open opportunities with other media companies. NBC Universal is still a major player in the media industry and provides significant learnings opportunities to individuals who are new to media. GE training programs are top notch and widely respected. The Crotonville campus is model that other corporations should strive to match. Hours are significantly better than other industries in NYC. Late nights and weekends are rare and an emphasis is placed on work/life balance.
Cons
Limited career opportunities with a preference for promoting from the outside rather than from within. Slow moving company that's resists the changing environment that it's confronted with. Salaries are considerably less than other employers in NYC.
