Pros

Salaries are OK and you can maintain reasonable work-life balance.

Cons

Although TiVo is a relatively small company, it has a management chain, bureaucracy and politics that you would expect to see only in big corporations. Management is afraid to make decisions and as a results meetings end with no outcomes because no one had the guts to take a decision. The week after the same people meet to talk about the same topics again with no decisions. I have spent weeks in meetings and discussions that could have been resolved in hours elsewhere.

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.
