Worst Job I've Ever Had - Anonymous employee Spectrum Employee Review

Charter is obviously a company built on a culture of fear. After acquiring TWC, they have changed all kinds of policies for the worst via Friday afternoon emails rather than actually talking to people about the changes: - No more telecommuting - Have to dress business casual now - Reduction in benefits - Tracking of hours and days in the office via badge swipes There isn't a single thing that shows Charter has the understanding that software is currently eating the world. They don't appreciate talent as a lot of other companies do, so the brain drain they have created for themselves should make investors very unhappy if they have any understanding where traditional cable companies are going (into the grave). In the past, Charter has mostly relied on contractors rather than in-house expertise. The only thing they are good at is managing money, not building innovative products, etc. Charter is the type of place who just hires contractors to build them things that the management doesn't understand, and do not want to hear about any reasons what they are asking for would not work. Comcast is actively recruiting all of the TWC talent away, so the only thing they will gain from the acquisition is subscribers. If you like working for some soulless company who hasn't progressed since the 90's and are easily intimidated, this place is for you. Charter is definitely managed from the top down, and the type of company who would call an employee a "resource" rather than a person.
