Cons

Culture is entirely dependent on your organization within Comcast. The company is massive, so the good reviews about culture need to be taken with a grain of salt. An immature senior manager can change the mood of the entire team.

Does not value employees who are new to the field. If Comcast is strategically hiring new grads, they need to have programming that reflects their willingness to nurture and invest in their potential.

Unexplainable hiring/promotion freezes. This was the case pre-pandemic and persisted until the day I left. Hiring freezes put strain on my engineering team, but the expected workload never changed.

Cliquey upper management.

Pay for SWE is lower than other competitive tech companies.
