5 Reasons to work for Comcast = 5 awesome portals

Posted by Anandhan Subbiah on Mar 29, 2007 in Cool Products, Technical Articles • No comments

Comcast is the largest cable company in the United States . I work as a Engineering Manager in Comcast and I honestly believe that if you understand how the web works then Comcast is the best company to work for in Philly (and in the United States !) . Anyone intrested in working on cutting edge technologies related to the web should really be padding up ( I use cricket terms without any shame since I am from India) to interview with Comcast.

There are lots of interesting products

1. http://www.comcast.net/

2. http://gameinvasion.comcast.net/

3. http://playgames.comcast.net/

4. http://finance.comcast.net/

5. http://www.ziddio.com/

The broadband portal Comcast.net has multiple channels like news , sports , movies , music , entertainment , tv , finance etc . Each channel is unique in its own way . A perfect example would be the NHL Hockey channel http://www.comcast.net/sports/nhl/hockeylive/.

Game Invasion is THE portal for hardcore gamers . This site has awesome graphics and videos of all your favorite games. You will have to see it to belive it.

Playgames is for casual gamers . There are a wide variety of games to choose from and you can play with other players in the net as well.

The Finance channel will help you manage your online portfolios.

Ziddio is the very latest in user-generated video sharing. People like you create videos and upload them to Ziddio.com for the world to see, laugh, question, mock, and even enjoy.

Due to the diverse nature of the diffrent products in comcast there are plenty of options to express your talent. Comcast needs people who understand the web and those who want to work in cutting-edge technologies.
