Working at Comcast in West Chester, PA: 8 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in West Chester, PA Area

"I have worked in comcast from 2017 till july 2020 as a Data modeler, Data analyst, Informatica and Tableau. My director gave me resources to learn new technologies."

"Very racist environment. Very bias and degrading. Told me there must be something wrong with my personality because I didn’t take enough initiative when I would ask for work literally every other day. Fired me after the first story, wasn’t even 2 weeks into the sprint. I was working with my developer lead. Didn’t get my mug back from the office which was rude."

"Good place to work and learn with new and growing technology. The management is good."

"Comcast is a fantastic place to work... if the recently initiated atmosphere shift wasn't to send as many jobs overseas as possible. All of my US-based staff has been laid off, and I'm likely next."

"Constantly reorgs. Direction changes too often. Projects never end."

What do you like about working at Comcast?

"The workers were very talented but management typically get in the way."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Negotiate aggressively. Ask HR about employee statistics like retention/turnover, promotions from within vs. hiring outside for open positions. Comcast has a high turnover rate because they burn people out and offer little hope for promotions in IT."

What don't you like about working at Comcast?

"Directors and above don't help the workers solve problems nor do they champion innovative ideas presented by workers. Upper management looks to just get buy and keep those above them happy."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Business challenges should be posed to the workers for them to then propose options. Management needs to stop dictating solutions down. Technical staff are tired of knowingly doing things that don't make sense. Before long term project complete, a new manager is hired and another direction is set. It's exhausting and demotivating never completing big, multi-year projects and restarting all over again."

What do you like about working at Comcast?

"I liked actually contributing to the work in the department, and our immediate supervisor knew what I could do, and turned to me whenever the need arose."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Make sure the position is fully explained before accepting it, make sure that the training includes all required knowledge rather than the piecemeal method they currently use."

What don't you like about working at Comcast?

"The communication from upper management to at least the Master Control department was sporadic and contradictory at best. In addition, our department received the brunt of blame for other department's mistakes. Where new positions were supposed to be made available to everyone, certain individuals would be moved into the new positiions before anyone else was even made aware. There was also a decided lack of respect from upper and even lower management to certain shifts working."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Improve communication, spread the work around, IE, leave the traffic work in the traffic department, and don't hold the MCC responsible for mistakes made by either sales or traffic departments."

"Comcast treats its employees well, they realigned their compensation package to be more competitive."
