Pros

* Excellent HR * Good pay and benefits * Excellent work experience * Very professional work environment

Cons

* Poor work-life balance * Constant state of emergency. Everyone is always under pressure to deliver the next big thing before the end of the quarter. * Large software engineering teams. Important decisions are made by a small group and everyone else's voices struggle to be heard. * Product, design, and engineering teams are located in different cities and report to separate management chains. This leads to slow communication and political in-fighting between teams. * Management is often critical and unsupportive of employees

Pros

Good work-life balance. Tons of technology. If it is a popular language, tool or platform, it is being used somewhere at Comcast. Good perks and stock options. Philadelphia is a great city with a growing tech sector.

Cons

There are many levels of middle management and it is very hard to find a good manager. Office politics causes a halt on development with everyone racing for the next promotion. Management style feels dated, and use of agile is not used on every team. The base salary is lower than expected for Software engineers.
