Pros

Great retail and operator products. Some great people trying to make those continue to succeed. Not much required of you outside of normal work hours.

Cons

New owners from Rovi are clueless on product space, yet they are demanding to call all the shots without asking for advice from the legacy TiVo employees who actually do the work but are listening to the executive managers that stayed and that made most of the mistakes in the past. People that can leave and executives that were smart are leaving in droves, those that failed with the original TiVo are being promoted by the idiot new owners.

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.
