Comcast

Developer experience: surprisingly good for a buttoned-up company. I didn't get stuck awaiting Windows admin for VS Code, Windows Subsystem for Linux, Docker, Python, Node.js, Git, or GitHub Enterprise.

Good pay.

Learning opportunities (infra/systems at scale).

Every meeting is a production (like a TV show), and you are expected to look good on camera.

Every project and team is a stylized codename that doesn't actually explain the thing.

There are a lot of vague, disparate docs on Confluence, and view permissions were strict.

If your boss says, "Automate yourself out of a job" and "Don't work too hard," don't share your solutions, or you will indeed automate yourself out.

I landed on a weird team that was suspiciously young and diverse, so your mileage may vary...

Foster an open culture, not a guild culture. Else, impact is driven by a social game and not engineering.
