What's It Like to Work at NBCUniversal?
NBCUniversal Employee Perspectives
By fostering these connections and investing in talent, NBCUniversal is not only transforming the entertainment industry, it’s helping to build stronger, more vibrant communities, one opportunity at a time.
“My biggest takeaway from being a participant is feeling support, and that in our industry, is a true gift.”
NBCUniversal interns are immersed in a culture where meaningful work, mentorship, and growth come together. Through hands-on experience with NBC News, early-career talent have the opportunity to build skills while contributing to moments that shape how audiences understand the world.
“The workplace culture and being a part of recording history in the making are both main points to why I believe interning at NBCUniversal is such a unique opportunity. As a result of the excellent workplace culture, I was able to grow my skills over the more than two years I interned with NBC News.”
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.”
