NBCUniversal Employee Reviews

Employees coming out of college are going to own a project. You’re going to come here and build something that’s going to be used. Here you’re not just going to build something to keep you busy.

We have multiple projects that are complex and require a good coordination of resources from multiple teams. While this is challenging, I have to give kudos to every member of our team that works very hard on these projects while working on day-to-day troubleshooting tasks.

Joining NBCU has given me the chance to dive into a completely new industry and be part of some truly iconic moments like ‘Wicked,’ ‘SNL 50,’ and Epic Universe.

From brainstorming last-minute asks, to filling in to support a teammate, to simply keeping the energy up on wild days, I'm more than grateful to be a part of NBCU. Being an Account Services Representative has shown me what I can do, and it’s a career that I love.

A lot of the work we do on my team is not directly seen, but we help define and build tools for the amazing ad experiences you see on Peacock, NBC Sports, Bravo, and other NBCU streaming applications. We are changing the game of ad tech by being bold, ambitious, and maintaining a strong attention to detail.

I always joke, NBCU is a dream job, except I wasn't funny enough to get on ‘SNL.’  I’m glad I get to work in my hometown, with the people I care about, representing my favorite TV shows and films, and much more.

From the adrenaline of breaking news to the magic of award show season, to the glamour of red carpets and specials that will always have my heart — every moment has been a chpater in a story I’m incredibly proud to be part of.
