NBCUniversal Employee Reviews

Working as an engineer at NBCU is phenomenal. Our technology runs the gamut from stuff that has been on air for fifteen years to cutting edge technology related software, IP, and cloud technologies.

Mike, SVP, Global Network & Distribution

The fun thing about working in media as opposed to tech is that the end-product of what you put your time and effort into is what people are seeing on TV. It’s cool working on something that has an impact on people’s everyday lives.

Teela, Video Dev Ops Engineer

We’re not a “technology company” but people join these companies to be a part of something larger. Media resonates on a personal level, connects to people, lets our engineers engage in more purpose-driven work.

Steve, SVP, Software Engineering

Here you can use technology to solve the diverse and unique media use cases.

Abel L., Cloud Engineer

What People Are Saying About NBCUniversal

Product Innovation: Peacock shipped first-to-market ad formats (Arrival Ads, programmatic Pause Ads) and AI-powered contextual targeting, alongside fan-facing features like vertical live sports, Multiview, and interactive Olympic hubs. One Platform’s expanding cross-screen planning and measurement, plus shoppable products (Checkout, Must ShopTV), show tangible, commercialized product advances.
Emerging Technology Adoption: NBCUniversal is operationalizing AI across ads and consumer experiences (agentic AI for media buying, real-time LIVE contextual alignment, AI-driven recaps) and investing in next-gen distribution such as ATSC 3.0 and virtual production. Live HDR/Dolby upgrades and clean-room data collaborations further indicate early adoption of frontier tech at scale.
Cross-Functional Innovation: Olympics-scale rollouts and the streaming‑exclusive NFL Playoff demonstrated coordinated innovation across Sports, Peacock, Ad Sales, and Distribution, with features debuting and then productized across the ecosystem. Broad reach across broadcast, cable, streaming, and parks enables rapid piloting and iteration, making scale a practical innovation moat.
