Pros
- Comcast benefits - Snacks and free beer
Cons
Corrupt, phony, juvenile Three words to describe the culture and people of FreeWheel. Best things about the company are the benefits Comcast offers, though other large companies probably have better packages. Some people do like the culture here – if you fall into one of the below categories, you probably would (or currently) do well at this organization: - If you’re a recent college grad who thrives in a fraternity/sorority type of environment: FreeWheelers are very cliquey, judgmental and “bro-ey”. Someone who needs a good stepping stone to a real company and a formidable notch (because it is Comcast) on his/her resume might be well suited too. There’s beer in the fridge kids! Go get ‘em. (One of the few redeeming qualities of this company is the snacks, though those are dwindling since Comcast started tightening the belt.) - Individuals who are comfortable with not only being SURROUNDED by phoniness and two faced-ness, but BEING phony and two faced will also like it here. Image fostering is a paramount concern at FreeWheel and for many (most) of the people who work there. As long as you're just a bit conniving and can make people think you’re something you’re not, and believe things that aren't true, you’ll fit in easily. As a function of this, don’t count on a FreeWheeler – if someone is succeeding at this organization, they likely have thrown someone under the bus to get ahead. You also must be comfortable with deceit, as this is something you’ll encounter frequently in company meetings, and when interacting with management and coworkers.
