Vantaggi
One of the best reasons to join this team is that they build products which support the other NBCUniversal properties. You really are part of a bigger system, and you get to work on the infrastructure and things behind some of the biggest names and coolest brands.
Svantaggi
This particular department appears to be devaluing technical innovation and high-end engineering resources. There seems to be an attitude that all engineers are created equal. However, while everyone who graduates med school is a doctor, many doctors specialize in a specific field. Likewise, while it's reasonable to expect most software developers to use common strategies and approaches, even a generalist has some degree of specialization, even if it's based primarily on what they worked on most recently.
