Pros

none they will stab you in the back and break company policy and lie to fire those employees who don't fit their vision of the picture perfect employee no matter how proficient you are at your job.

Cons

your chances of making it a career are slim theres a disproportionate amount of employees who arte let go or laid off before their 12 year mark. there is no significance with the 12 years except your about at the cap of what you can make and thats when comcast is about done with you. they are shady and backbiting they can't tell the truth to their customers why would they tell the truth to their employees. they fired me without reason except that its their right being in an "at will" state to fire whom they wished when they wished and i was denied unemployment as well i dont understand why.. i was a model employee with 10 years under me and they left me with nothing to show for it. comcast was my life i practically lived there with all the time i volunteered for because we were short handed and it all means nothing to them employees are expendable to them.

Pros

I worked at thePlatform for several years, it was a great company with cool technology, the smartest and nicest people I've ever worked with, and a great work-life balance. We moved quickly, built cutting-edge software, and although we were backed by Comcast, there was very little corporate influence for many years, so it really did feel like an entrepreneurial environment.

Cons

In late 2015 Comcast decided to merge thePlatform into another business group within Comcast, and incorporate all of the bureaucracy and big-company headaches that went along with that. Many of the smartest people at the company have since left, and the software has stagnated for over a year. What was once a really great place to be an engineer is now not somewhere that I would recommend at all.

Only if you drink the Kool-Aid

Pros

If you get the right leaders; some training opportunities are available to better your skillsets. If you are looking to climb to the top, it may be worth the wait as long as you can talk the talk and drink the drink ( kool aid); they will find someone else to walk the walk for you. On the flip side- if you choose to stay under the radar and are good at it -- you can stay gainfully employed for quite some time.

Cons

There is a huge disconnect between the company values, leadership, and the directives. If you are looking for support, expect no one to catch the ball you are throwing - especially if you are trying to make a difference on behalf of the subscriber/ customer. Too many green leaders all clambering for a piece of the pie. Personalities that are not " TypeA" dont fit in well to the environment.
