Great company, not so great managers and projects. - Web Developer bei NBCUniversal: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Impossible to get things done. Dull projects that in fact nobody like. Unrealistic deadlines. Really basic to non existent project management. Project managers don't have the basic knowledge for doing what need to be done. NBC Universal is a company for contractors, nothing more nothing less. Permanent staff is a rare specimen, therefore you'll see people disappear suddenly or they won't care at all. Contractors are really protective of their job, and they will stab you with a smile. Half of the time you'll get paranoid about decisions that are made and things will be dropped at you without previous briefing. For all the time I've been there I didn't know who my line manager was and nobody knew who should accept holidays requests. Like a million of other corporations they are too big to fall, but from the inside you won't understand how they stand. Tons and tons of legacy code to deal with. Really keen to blame people without even trying to get to the root of the problem.
