Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Brilliant, the culture was one of support and growth. I felt as though it was a very friendly environment, being new and having joined in a WFH environment made this a little tougher but it was still very evident the culture was a greatly positive one.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement and would heavily encourage anyone searching for an internship within an Operations team to apply. I have openly discussed my desire to return to NBCUniversal to which all have been very encouraging. My team was great and very friendly both when WFH and in the office, the culture was inclusive and not at all uncomfortable as a new starter.

Be sure to understand what Operations entails and do some due diligence on the company. The interviews follow a STAR structure so I would certainly suggest practicing this. Ensure you are passionate & interested in business & technology (particularly systems).
