Comcast

Above average pay but less compared to other MNCs.

Good benefits:

• Health coverage
• Paid time off
• PF & VPF
• Phone/internet bill reimbursement

Nice office environment.

Used to have nice work-life balance, lately becoming like a service company. I left in April 2023.

Hiring is exclusively based on "where you are from." Sometimes, people like me fall through the cracks (Contractor to Employee). In 4 years, they made sure I had to go out if I wanted to move on to the next level. Some engineers will never go on to the next level because of regional politics. I tried to become a manager but didn't even get a screening. I’m from Maharashtra. 100% of managers and above are from the same ethnicity, which tells you something.

Diversity & Multiculturalism: You won’t achieve this by copying the US office; you need to understand who your "white people" are and hire outside that background.

I hope this culture is not some racial thing in your Chennai office. You were just ignorant. Give a chance and promote/hire from different backgrounds to Managers/Eng5.

If not, at least fill your cracks. Don't hire outsiders as Engineers and waste their 5 years before realizing they don't stand a chance to become managers.
