Pros

New and exciting technology because Comcast is constantly trying to reinvent itself as a tech company. So, a lot of cool integrations with other cable and streaming services keeps you on the cutting edge.

Cons

Too many contractors. Some contractors have been on staff for 3 years, and some even 5. There's no consistency when being converted. Older teams are very bureaucratic, which makes it very difficult to get work done. There's a lot of politics at upper management.

Advice to Management

Definitely consider quicker conversions. The company bleeds talent because they're not willing to move on converting contractors. The contractor to permanent ratio is way too skewed. Too many duplicated work in multiple teams due to politics among senior management teams.
