Pros

A lot of opportunity to learn and grow, interesting products and services to work with, good benefits, average pay.

Cons

Very political environment, retaliation, poor work-life balance, ethical problems galore, a lot of dishonest and unethical behavior, and pressure to be dishonest. Toxic culture, very superficial, public berating, weird racial dynamics, conflicts of interest, profit over people. Management has a habit of not following through on commitments.

Throughout the entire time I worked here, it was quite apparent that appearances and profit are everything. Managers instructed us to lie to government regulators and destroy documents relating to regulated activities.

I witnessed immigration status being used as leverage to get immigrants to do unethical and/or illegal things. I experienced retaliation for reporting ethical concerns.

Don't get me wrong; there are good people at Comcast, including some really good managers. However, this is the most toxic environment I've seen in a 20-year career, and I left this place doubting my own sanity after years of gaslighting and abusive behavior from an exceptionally bad manager.
