Technology connects teams to the stories, live moments, and fan communities that shape culture. Through Peacock, employees help build streaming experiences around content audiences care deeply about — and they get to do it alongside teams who are fans themselves.

“Being able to work on things all day long that viewers are really engaged with and that can move them — I don’t know what could compare to that. You get to work on projects with all of these different pieces of content and in areas that people have this great fandom around. Even people on our team are big fans.”

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.

Naomi , Vice President, Data Engineering

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.

Grander, Principal Site Reliability Engineer, Operations & Technology

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.

Adriane T., Manager, Internal Engagement, Global Video Engineering, Media Group

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.

Janikaa J., Account Services Representative, Ad Sales & Partnerships

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.

Gregory R., Product Architect Ad Creative, Operations & Technology

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.

Aaron M., Local Sales Manager, NBCUniversal Local

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.
