Pros

Large company has potential to provide many opportunities for growth and advancement if you are willing to go above and beyond and think outside the box.

Cons

Disconnect/disharmony working with other layers of the company (Headquarters/Division/ Region/System). Decisions are made at higher levels without fully understanding the issues at the lower levels and decisions made at HQ are not in alignment with our bottom line goal to best service our customers and shareholders. (ie. obtacles in purchasing needed capital, getting payment to customers (refunds) /vendors timely). Controls are important but I don't think we currently have a good balance btw controls and customer service. Poor planning and decisions at HQ these past few months has caused significant customer impacting preventable issues which could have been avoided if we all worked together and our input was sought and considered prior to implementing these high level decisions.

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.
