Likes

Okies Work/Life Balance environment. Has lot of learning opportunities than you would imagine.

Dislikes

It has the worst salary structure. If you are a senior employee with extensive work experience, you get paid less. if you joined after 2022, you may be paid more than senior employees in a junior position. there is also no market adjustment policy here. You receive promotions, salary increase and market adjustment only if you are favoured by your manager.

I am employed and getting ontime salary.

Dislikes

Zero growth for people who are considered "outsiders", there is no chance of growth for them, no promotion for them, regionalism and politics is supreme. No one promoted to E4, E5, E6, M1 from outsider group. Absolutely 0 in leadership. Suggestion to everyone not just "outsiders" stay away, world has changed and there is no place for enmocity towards anyone. If you ever dream to go onsite stay away, if you want to learn & develop skills stay away. They'll force to you to be in office first half, and then expect you to go home and work till 10pm, easily 12-14 hours all week days. Everyone just stay away, specially "outsiders" because you'll never go to next level.

Above average pay but less compared to other MNCs. Good Benefits: health coverage, paid time off, PR & VPF, Phone/internet bill reimbursement. Nice office environment. Used to have nice work life balance, lately becoming like a service company, I left in April 2023.

Dislikes

Hiring is exclusively based on "where you are from", some times people like me falls through cracks(contractor to Employee) in 4 years they made sure I have to go out if want to move on to next level. Some engineers will never go on to next level, because of regional politics, I tried to become a manager but didn't even go a screening. I'm from Maharastra. 100% of managers and above are from same ethnicity, that tells you something. They copy the DE&I initiatives from US but they are not ready to identify their "white people" and do hiring/promotion outside that majority.

Comcast offers a great work-life balance, free coffee/tea/green tea, flexible work hours (depends on team/business group/manager)

Dislikes

Benefits are standard and salary in not par to the industry compared to other product companies. My manager is very disrespectful and micro-manages, has no integrity with full of politics within the team because of him.

Likes

...no specific work timings, just get the work done, they take good care of people. The compensation is decent, other product companies pays more for same level of experience, but much better than service sector. There are no stocks available for comcast India employees.

Dislikes

As stated above, the compensation.
