What's the Work-Life Balance Like at NBCUniversal?

Updated on October 26, 2026

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.

NBCUniversal Employee Reviews

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. And when you’re good personally, you’re going to produce better work — but they will always put the person over the work.

I appreciate the opportunity to build relationships and have those face-to-face conversations. Leadership here sees this as a critical aspect of building culture. To me, that’s a huge investment in making sure that you’re able to create strong connections that will lead to great work and sustaining a job that people want to show up to each day.
