Solid but inefficient firm
Solid but inefficient firm
Easy work, pleasant work environment, nice coworkers, flexible work hours/locations (work from home occasionally).
Inefficient work flow, castle building, communication problems, egos, and clueless management a lot of the time.
Mediocre equals outstanding at Comcast. I have been a contract engineer for about three years now and have turned down two full-time offers from the same team for various reasons. All you have to do is show up on time and get things done. Full-time employees are crawling all over each other to reach the next rung, but more depends on who you know and what coattails you can ride. I've seen incompetent employees promoted and good employees left in the dust. It's a great place to start or end a career. If you can navigate the mid-career gauntlet, it's probably a good place to work.
Advice to management:
- Stop promoting people for the wrong reasons.
- If you find good talent, work with them on compensation and benefits.
- Be flexible.

Two interviews: one with HR and two with the team supervisor and members. The interview is simple and nothing special. Basic networking skills are needed. As long as you have a basic networking background, you can pass the interview.

Painstaking, long steps, and a lot of bureaucratic fluff making it stressful. A week or two in between each stage. However, the recruiter was very open and communicative about this process. Very open thread of communication.
