Pros

Although the company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast, it still maintains independence and creativity. This shines through both from the quality of personnel and the 'platform lifestyle'.

Good work/life balance.

For anybody that has worked at small companies or in a junior position at a large company, I would strongly recommend trying out thePlatform for a couple years. It is an interesting mix of startup and enterprise.

Cons

There is a significant set of existing applications, products, and designs that need updating to be 'cloud ready'.

Advice to Management

Often, business growth happens in stair-step patterns and not linearly. Keep the priority on the cloud initiative. Once you are over that hurdle, there will be a radical acceleration in the ability to develop new features/products and have even higher levels of availability.

Consider a formal strategy for deprecating older products/features. Trying to carry so much forward creates a hidden cost on new development and makes things more complex and fragile than they need to be.
