Pros

Comprehensive benefits, excellent 401k match, employee stock purchase opportunities, subsidized or free Xfinity services, great office space and food. Lots of opportunity to grow and share knowledge. Good people with good intentions.

Cons

Slow to build, release, and deploy.

Business slow to adopt good ideas.

Too many stakeholders.

Groupthink in some teams.

Openly politically partisan (Left/Democratic) in a lot of teams. It can be frightening and exclusive towards conservative families like mine (a practicing Catholic).

Advice to Management

Work on being truly nimble and forward-thinking.

Do more to either prevent politics in the workspace, or have repercussions for political hostility.
