Comcast

ThePlatform is a small subsidiary of Comcast, but don't let that get in the way. Unlike Comcast, ThePlatform creates top-quality products and takes great care of its customers. ThePlatform has a small company feel to it, is run by a top-notch and caring executive team, and follows sane processes. By far one of the nicest environments I've ever worked in.

• Small company feel
• Competent and caring management – you feel like part of the team and not just a resource
• Nice people all around – you get to work with real human beings, as opposed to selfish, emotionless robots
• Strong engineers
• Relaxed and collaborative environment
• Clean code base
• Great benefits, including a world-class matching 401(k) plan and employee stock purchase plan, and virtually free premium cable and internet services
• Free snacks and drinks (including healthy snacks such as fruit!)

• Anything that has to do with Comcast (e.g., HR related tools), but there's thankfully very little of that. You mostly forget that you're indirectly working for Comcast.

• Products and services are quite complex, so the learning curve is pretty steep.

Keep up the good work!
