The corporate culture is good. The people are smart, helpful, and
generally responsive. There are a lot of company sponsored events
throughout the year. It helps bring everyone together in a relaxed
environment. That said, it is a lot of work.
The month end close process is very involved. Sometimes it seems like
you just go from one monthly close to the next with only a week in
between to catch your breath before starting all over again.
The process is as follows: customer reporting, revenue, expense
invoices/accruals, variance explanations, forecast
customers/revenue/expense. There is a lot of work in each step.
The negatives are that the company is rather cheap. Raises are minimal.
Additionally, when people leave they are not generally replaced very
quickly to float the salary/payroll savings.
Furthermore, there is a big communications issue. The right hand does
not know what the left hand is doing. When changes are made to existing
processes, those changes are really communicated to all the end
users/customers that rely on that process in their daily work. It
happens all the time across the company. There is usually a break in
the chain where the change is passed down from the top, but middle
management sits on it and never passes it down to the end
users/customers.
Lastly, Comcast finance imposes an unrealistic level of exactness in
analysis. Materiality is a sore spot with Comcast finance people that
got their start with the company. They will not rest until every red
cent is accounted for.
