Pros

thePlatform is a small subsidiary of Comcast, but don't let that get in the way. Unlike Comcast, thePlatform creates top quality products and takes great care of its customers. thePlatform has a small company feel to it, is run by a top notch and caring executive team, and follows sane processes. By far one of the nicest environments I've ever worked in. + Small company feel + Competent and caring management -- you feel like part of the team and not just a resource + Nice people all around -- you get to work with real human beings, as opposed to selfish, emotionless robots + Strong engineers + Relaxed and collaborative environment + Clean code base + Great benefits, including world-class matching 401(k) plan and employee stock purchase plan, and virtually free premium cable and internet services + Free snacks and drinks (including healthy snacks such as fruit!)

Cons

- Anything that has to do with Comcast (e.g., HR related tools), but there's thankfully very little of that. You mostly forget that you're indirectly working for Comcast - Products and services are quite complex, so the learning curve is pretty steep

Pros

The people are great and understanding. They know the system is complex, and are willing to give you the time to learn. The environment is laid back and very eco-conscious. It fits the Seattle vibe perfectly. People tend to stay here for a long time, which is nice if you are mid-career and looking for challenging work that you can rely on. The hiring process sets a high bar, and I think that helps the company maintain high quality employees. The managers listen and respond to concerns and the entire team is open to new ideas.

Cons

The work is complex and obscure. Good luck explaining what you do at a dinner party.

Thank you for your comments. We are lucky to have such great managers that are so engaged with their teams, it does keep the level of trust high which allows for that sharing of ideas. You're also right about explaining the complexity of our products and services because it does a lot! We should be able to address this from a marketing perspective.
