Pros

Free cable and internet, interesting technology

Cons

Extremely toxic culture! Noisy open office which makes it difficult to focus because everyone around you is on calls all day. RTO mandate is four days in office, one day from home. However, they are now saying it will soon increase to five days in the office with no hybrid option. The only exception to this is the senior leadership level, who frequently work remotely. Leadership has assigned people to walk around and check desks to be sure everyone is compliant. Those who aren't are disciplined and laid off. They also pull badge reports daily and keep a list of those who are not compliant with RTO. There is no trust, and it feels like everything you do is being watched. The senior leadership team likes to separate themselves from the peons and refers to themselves as "The SLT". Most of them could benefit from some basic leadership training. The only thing stable about Comcast is the frequency of the layoffs. If you manage to stay for a few years, be prepared! You WILL be on an upcoming layoff list. Comcast pushes woke DEI garbage on everyone, constantly, yet their layoff lists are typically full of older folks. If you like this, you may be a good fit. EVERYONE I work with is looking for something else because they're tired of the negativity and know that their time is limited. My advice is to stay far, far away.

Pros

Working at Comcast has given me the opportunity to develop myself; take the time to grow and learn, and that was really important to me during the time in my life when I joined the company. If you have the drive and ambition, there are a ton of ways in which you can grow into a leader if that's what you want to be. I took advantage of the continued education benefit and am finishing my masters degree now... I also joined a couple of the employee resource groups which offer seminars and networking events that support your professional profile. Listen, I'm not a total nerd. The point of my post is that this isn't a company you join and just stay stale within. They encourage your growth, but it's up to you to make it happen. Not only this - it's pretty exciting. We're busy and we have big jobs to do. My salary is in the top percentile for my industry but not only this, I again get the continued education (which is ~$6K/year) plus free cable/internet, top health care benefits and a truly balanced lifestyle - which is rarely the case within the Tech industry.

Cons

Telling people you work at Comcast triggers 2 typical responses: 1) A big hatred rant on customer service 2) A how do I get my foot in the door? The reputation of the company is difficult, but the style of the company is to stay humble - I've never seen the company defend themselves against the harmful and discrediting news that exists. I personally think they should defend themselves a little more - they are between a rock and a hard place in many instances of service. I personally experienced visiting someone's home where the issues they were having with their connection was due to a tree root growing into the cable lines which had been their for over 20 years. Things like that cannot be diagnosed over a phone call. It's hard work in the field for sure. Being a part of the corporate side sometimes we're too disconnected from what's happening on the frontline. So I think the size of the organization comes with its complications, but again if you're a working professional looking for an exciting, robust and sexy career, you can comfortably have it here.
