Comcast

Wide range of techs to work with. Diverse teams. Decent salaries for engineers, annual & quarterly bonuses, stock options & RSUs, remote work possibilities. Universal Studios ticket discounts. Continuing Ed/training programs. Flexibility on how you work, dependent on org management. Lots of leave once you’ve been there a while.

Layoffs unrelated to performance; no effort made to retain talent in other areas of the company. It’s a corporate behemoth with no loyalty to anything besides profits. They bust unionization efforts. Courtesy services are only available if you live in an area serviced by Comcast; they will not subsidize your internet for work if you don’t. No appeals process on annual evaluations, and you don’t find out what you’re rated until three months into the new year, when all decisions have been made. Vesting schedules for options/RSUs are long (5 years). Preference for FTE or contractors goes in cycles. Preference for building in-house or buying goes in cycles.
