Pros
  1. Great work-life balance (Comcast Silicon Valley)
  2. Smart people to work with (Comcast Silicon Valley)
  3. Free internet and 90%+ discount on cable
Cons
  1. The headquarters in Philadelphia is filled with thousands of contractors. Some contractors provided by Tata or Infosys are not qualified for the job but still got hired.
  2. Business people have the power to make decisions, which is not good for engineers.
  3. Team coordination is bad.
Advice to Management

Stop hiring so many contractors from Infosys, TATA, and etc. A lot of them are not capable of handling the work. It's a waste of money and it also disturbs the U.S. job market.
