Pros

Good work-life balance. Tons of technology. If it is a popular language, tool, or platform, it is being used somewhere at Comcast. Good perks and stock options. Philadelphia is a great city with a growing tech sector.

Cons

There are many levels of middle management, and it is very hard to find a good manager.

Office politics causes a halt on development, with everyone racing for the next promotion.

Management style feels dated, and the use of Agile is not used on every team.

The base salary is lower than expected for Software Engineers.

Advice to Management

Roadmaps shared with the technical team should look different from the roadmap shared with the Directors and VPs, focusing more on technology and engineering rather than checking boxes.
