Pros

Great team and immediate leadership. Interesting work on exciting products and technology.

Cons

The problems come in from the C-level and VP-level folks being completely out of touch. Across the board merit "raises" that have not gotten close to keeping up with inflation despite record revenue and profits, which make them effectively and functionally wage cuts for the overwhelming majority of employees. Terrible response post-Covid re: return-to-office vs remote work policies.

Pros

Wide range of techs to work with. Diverse teams. Decent salaries for engineers; annual & quarterly bonuses; stock options & RSUs; remote work possibilities. Universal Studios ticket discounts. Continuing Ed/training programs. Flexibility on how you work dependent on org management. Lots of leave once you’ve been there a while.

Cons

Layoffs unrelated to performance, no effort made to retain talent in other areas of the company. It’s a corporate behemoth with no loyalty to anything besides profits. They bust unionization efforts. Courtesy services only available if you live in area serviced by Comcast, they will not subsidize your internet for work if you don’t. No appeals process on annual evaluation and you don’t find out what you’re rated until 3 months into the new year when all decisions have been made. Vesting schedule for options/RSUs is long (5 years). Preference for FTE or contractors goes in cycles. Preference for build in-house or buy goes in cycles.
