Pros

The margins made by company are tremendous, so they treat you out like kings. Brings in Baja Fresh, pizza, Famous Dave's or any other catered event almost every week. In over a year, I only brought a lunch maybe twice. Structured environment, led by the book. Rules are followed and adhered to, which can be a pro since it helps to have some substance to what you are doing. Without it, workplace just becomes chaos.

Cons

Leadership has been steered by those who have ran the business for 20+ years. Advancements, new ideas are not heard very much, so expect to perform tasks that are repetitive and complicated. This is because there is little to no evolution in the workplace to make processes improved, instead improvement comes by "adding on" to existing processes. Any business class I have taken has taught me to avoid this kind of mentality, but maybe it can change with new leadership. One Finance leader in particular cannot see out his office door, and has never worked for another company in his life so he is pretty stuck in his ways. Some other leaders are similar in fashion, so be cautious when you begin working to keep your head down and don't promote any ideas to make something better. Leave that up to leadership to figure it out their own particular way.

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.
