Because I worked nights, I didn’t get to experience much of the company culture. It is a nice organization to work for with a ton of history, so people will respect or acknowledge you more. However, the news industry has its struggles and I felt the morning shows were understaffed.
This is a hard question to answer, because the program is so different now. But as a rotational program, no day is truly the same. You will be exposed to all different aspects of the company, and immersed in the various departments NBCU has to offer via different assignments.

I believe my pay was $10/hr. It doesn't seem like a ton, but since I worked during the Olympics most people were working about 60 hours/week, and you did receive time and a half for overtime.
I worked there over 5 years ago and at the time interns were tasked to prospect and cold call different categories to make appointments for the sales team at NBC.
You will have 100% ownership over your work. Your work is your work, both your opportunity to standout and your responsibility to follow through. Although the work may not always be glamourous, it’s important to show a positive attitude and enthusiasm when interacting with others.
Olympic interns based in the U.S. were paid $10/hr in 2016. Olympic interns abroad were offered airfare, and on location housing in additionan to wages.
As for many jobs, no two days are the same for Content Producers. Because the news is a 24/7 business, you won’t be working standard hours and weekdays. For me, I started work around midnight or 1 a.m. to prepare for the morning newscasts, starting at 4:30 and ending at 7. Usually, I would go in ...

As an intern, I was able to work on projects daily that exposed me to tons of different content on every single project. I would have the opportunity to network with my co-workers, participate in projects on the side to build my skill-set, and get adjusted to the fast-paced workflow of the industry.

To be honest--and I'm not sure if this is applicable to other NBCU internships--I didn't have a formal training program. I had one point person who oversaw my work, and when she delegated work to me, she would go over what she expects and how she wants it done. For that internship specifically, i...
