NBC Universal a training ground for GE trainees - Recensione dipendente - Director presso NBCUniversal

Horrible unless you are an IMLP, FMLP or OMLP which is their GE leadership program. You graduate from this program and basically step on everyone else to become a manager at least. Some even become Directors and have been out of school for only a few years. Very poor management especially middle to upper management. Many people leave and get tired of working long hours without any recognition unless they are part of the GE click. I worked for a few managers and all were not very good but had been at NBC for years so the review process is not doing a great job at weeding out poor talent. The review process is a joke as your raise is not related to how well you do. Overall management do not have enough to do and spend their day looking at their emails or lecturing their employees on how to talk to people. Yes you read that right. Go back and watch Office Space if you want to imagine what it would be like working in this very corporate studio. I always wondered what Directors or VPs (so many of them) did all day. They don't manage projects, produce anything, manage their teams effectively, empower their people or do anything. Please remove some of these layers and you will save millions. I am not saying fire everyone but look at how GE has turned NBC Universal into a training ground for their management program trainees. I came from an investment banking background and found it very frustrating to see these trainees who have no track record be given multi million dollar projects to manage and when they screwed up others were asked to step in and clean up the mess. As a matter of fact some of these made "managers" did the company a favor and left on their own only to have their covers blown and some even got fired. GE can save money if they stopped supporting these programs which have such a poor track record. I am glad I went to another studio where I feel very respected. My experience, education and abilities are very recognized. Everyone who has been promoted around me deserves it.
