Comcast

I worked with some of the brightest engineers I've ever met in my 8 years at Comcast.

I was a part of some challenging projects and grew professionally under the mentorship of some great managers.

Benefits were good; compensation was fair.

I had opportunities to work directly with several members of the C-suite and found it very rewarding.

Opportunities for advancement were limited, at least at the senior level where I was.

Initially, I had some excellent management, but over the years, they were replaced with corporate-types who were not adept at managing highly technical staff, and it often created friction.

Process was always more of a hindrance than an enabler.

Politics at the senior level were tedious and pervasive.

Focus more on results and collaboration between individuals and teams. Do a better job of rewarding productive team members and spend less energy on maneuvering through the politics.
