Process
I received a phone call from the Talent Acquisition Manager.
She asked soft-skill questions and general questions regarding Web services and Linux.
I then followed up with her, and she scheduled me for another phone interview, this time with the Support Operations Manager.
He asked detailed questions regarding Web services and my relevant experience.
I knew it was a long shot getting the position, as I have zero Web experience, but I wanted the interview experience.

Cool ideas, execution is hit and miss
Applications Support Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
March 9, 2016
Pros: Company and management at all levels genuinely care about employees.
We have a great work-life balance.
Cool products to work on using slightly outdated tech.
Great benefits: health, retirement, transit access, etc.
Culture is open, accepting, and supportive of all types of people. Another reviewer mentioned issues with sexism, and I have NOT seen or heard anything like that in my time here.
Cons: - Product directors and upper management have zero interest in product quality or stability. This leads to negative customer impact and a lot of preventable operational incidents.
- Average pay for all roles is far below industry average. You will not be paid your worth here.

Good Opportunities for Advancement, but High Drama Workplace
Applications Support Engineer • Former Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
November 19, 2015
Pros: Great employee perks: free snacks and drinks, frequent employee lunches, and afternoon art walks.
Employees are generally allowed to pursue side projects (building tools, teaching seminars, etc.). It's possible to have a lot of influence, even as a lower-ranking employee, over the direction your team goes in.
Good opportunities for advancement and to pursue the things that interest you the most.
Upper management is generally friendly and accessible.
Depending on what team you're on, overtime pay is a possibility.
Cons: Annoying machismo among the overwhelmingly male tech support staff; a great deal of sexism in the workplace that I noticed even as a guy. Also, lots of talking bad about co-workers behind their backs, and lots of drama.
The company is owned by Comcast, so procedural HR stuff in general is cumbersome and filled with red tape. We had to use the same terrible employee portal as the rest of Comcast, which was even less functional for us, as we were a part of Comcast but not really.
