Pros

Very friendly environment, with lots of good people who are also very competent.

Flexible timings, work from home, especially in Comcast Interactive Media Group.

Cons

It has lots of units, so you can't expect the same work environments and competency among all the groups. The visa lawyers and HR play it safe (so, even if you qualify for the EB2 category for your GC process, they will keep you in the EB3 category, unless you are some manager/director).

Advice to Management

Please change the old practices.

Ten years back, a guy from India or China would have gotten his GC in 5 years (in the EB3 category). Now, it would take him 15-16 years.

Do you expect him to be with you for so long, even if he enjoys working with you?

Get competent lawyers and encourage/push them to do what is best for your employees, not the other way around (i.e., push employees to make lawyers happy).
