For the second year in a row, Comcast NBCUniversal has been named among the Top Ten Companies in the country by LinkedIn. This list is based entirely on the actions of LinkedIn’s 500 million-plus members ranking the most in-demand employers on three main metrics: job applications, engagement and retention.
Here’s what they had to say about us:
#7 Comcast NBCUniversal
Tower of strength: Comcast NBCUniversal, the telecom and entertainment behemoth, hired more than 36,000 new employees last year, attracting them with expanded parental benefits, free Xfinity TV and Internet and even complimentary Universal Studios park passes. This year, the company opens the Comcast Technology Center, the latest work of British architect Norman Foster. The $1.5 billion, 1,121-foot tower will be the Philadelphia home for teams of engineers as well as NBC 10, Telemundo 62 and a 217-room Four Seasons.
Global headcount: 164,000
Grabbing gold: At the recent Winter Olympics, NBCUniversal delivered every competitive moment live — more than 2,400 hours of coverage across 102 events over broadcast, virtual reality, 4K (high-resolution) and even Snapchat.
Greg Geshel, VP of Human Resources for Comcast Oregon/SW Washington is understandably pleased with the recognition from LinkedIn. “Being on this list for two years running publicly acknowledges something that we’ve known for a long time: that Comcast is a great place to work. We’ve built an amazing culture and people want to be part of it.”
