NBCUniversal
What's the Work-Life Balance Like at NBCUniversal?
NBCUniversal Employee Perspectives
The people at NBCU treat you like people first. They understand that you have a life outside of work. I had a baby last year, and my managers have always prioritized asking about myself as a parent and about my baby because they recognize that I am a human first and not just someone trying to pump out code.
