Pros

Annual company BBQ, Free TiVo box

Cons

Extreme work overload No " thank you " from management for the 60 hours a week and sometimes weekend work required to just maintain your work duties. Management is wack. In meetings, it's like an inquisition. You are constantly bombarded with questions about your project's status and if you don't know an answer, your boss scolds you because it makes him look bad. Very political, very confused environment. One group doesn't know what the next is doing. Everyone watching out for their own.Even job responsibilities are clouded. Lots of micromanagement. Only 10 payed holidays ( most companies have 11 -12). Only 2 weeks vacation per year to start.No matching 401K. They won't hire more people to relieve the already overloaded work environment, you just get to work more hours. Your job responsibilities could change overnight.Product Management has no clue. When the economy gets better... I'm out of this circus.

Pros

This role is flexible time wise. It provides a lot of down time within one shift. The supervisors were understanding about errors, and supportive when training. Very small amount of training required.

Cons

Have to be able to watch and listen two two television shows simultaneously.

Pros

The office building was nice and there are some great people that worked there.

Cons

The leadership was a bunch of men just trying to protect their own egos and line their own pockets. I never worked anywhere that felt as dismissive of women as TiVo.
