NBCUniversal Career Growth & Development

NBCUniversal is an amazing company to grow your career. My leadership has been extremely supportive of my own growth journey here by providing opportunities where I could challenge myself and step outside my comfort zone, and I strive to do the same with my team.

About a year after I joined NBCUniversal, my manager said to me, ‘I think you need to be a senior engineer. Here’s what you need to do.’ And I looked at the milestones and realized that I was doing all of it already.

Leadership prioritizes individual growth over keeping someone in a role where they’re succeeding. If someone is ready to move on to the next stage and we don’t have a role for them, we want to offer room to develop rather than stalling someone amazing at a lower level.

All the teams at NBCU are very receptive to anybody who wants to take the lead. If you see a need, they’re happy to let you fill that space — and once people see you in that role, people want to support you as you expand.

At NBCUniversal, interns gain hands-on experience that connects their work to the future of media and entertainment. Through real business projects across the company, early-career talent learn how data, insights, and collaboration help teams make smarter decisions in a fast-moving industry.

“Working within the Strategic Analytics Team at Peacock during this pivotal time truly underscored the importance of making data-driven decisions. I learned how critical it is to leverage insights to inform strategy and direction, especially in a dynamic industry like streaming, where understanding user behavior and content performance is crucial to staying competitive and growing our audience.”

At NBCUniversal, mentorship helps open doors for emerging creative talent by turning access into confidence. Through hands-on experience and guidance from industry professionals, early-career creatives can build the skills, perspective, and support they need to see a future for themselves in media.

“I think mentors fast-track your confidence. I did not come from a background where I had any exposure to the creative industry as a business. Having mentors makes up for a lot of that lack of exposure in a really fast way.”
