Pros

Lots of interesting work. Family oriented gatherings on site several times a year. Good medical and dental benefits. Employee discounts on new models of TiVo. Free coffee, tea, and milk.

Cons

Too much work on too many projects with insufficient coordination. Quality was once the top priority but now it is schedule and features. Recent layoffs of about 25 experienced employees were done wih no notice and in secrecy. If asked, senior management said, "They just left".

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.
