Pros

Sorry, I'm just not sure what to say here. Free cable... Even that is not much of a benefit, since you're labeled an employee and if you are experiencing cable or internet issues, you're automatically put to the bottom of the support list since you're an employee.

Cons

It is one of the biggest "old boys network" large corporations I have ever encountered, especially among the AOL crowd that has come into Comcast the last few years. It is also very important to learn how to be nasty with a smile to survive. Engineers with years of good solid experience need not apply unless they already have internal connections, such as someone from AOL.

Advice to Management

Even though Comcast markets itself as a technology company, there is very little respect for strong technologists inside the company. If you want to be a leader in technology, maybe you should hire people with talent and actually give them a chance to make changes.
