Pros

None except the free food if you consider it as a pro

Cons

Its rightly said that people donot leave the company but the bad boss, Lot of internal politics, some Engineers are being promoted as Managers who donot even possess basic management skills, who give unrealistic deadlines, do micro management, talk ill about you in front of others, if incase you question, your ratings are drastically reduced and will be given bad reviews ( a person who has got consistently very good reviews from 3 years from all managers and peers, suddenly get a bad review due to personal grudge) Stressful environment HR are puppets of Senior Managers(if incase you escalate an issue, you will be blamed and they make sure that you either quit or continue in the organization accepting the fault of others as yours, all blame will be put on you) Will not recommend this work place to anyone. If you wish to join, please try to know the team you join, research a bit and then take a call. Donot go by the positive reviews posted here. HR team asks employees to give positive responses.

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.
