Pros

Lots of smart people, very good benefits and adequate compensation. there are a few superstars who do really good work

Cons

Lots of politics and team versus team dynamics. A fair number of people who don't pull their weight. Middle management is not helpful

Pros

Comcast can be surprisingly flexible. Engineering is valued and people willing to take initiative and responsibility are generally appreciated/rewarded. There is a strong culture supporting balancing life with work. Sacrifice is also widely recognized. Additionally, there is a strong cultural bias towards hiring/retaining smart, capable people; sometimes to a fault! All the while, there is a desire to maintain good "cultural fits" amongst the engineers.

Cons

Mainly the traditional "big company" type of pitfalls: institutionalized inertia; broad communication issues up and down the verticals, etc. Comcast also has to transcend a certain amount of bias towards it's traditional revenue streams and face changing customer needs and demographics.
