TiVo – “TiVo needs to think about their employees and not just lawsuits”

Pros

Free digital video recorder if you agree to do weekly "home work" assignments on beta software.
TiVo is a well-known brand and it is nice to not have to explain what the company is when you tell people you work there (but then they tell you what they want changed or fixed and you have no ability to do that sadly)

Cons

Management is not concerned with the individual employees - note the layoffs last year with no warning and skimpy severance. Management asking employees to take on even more work with no help.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep the employees in mind - it's about more than just the bottom line and the lawsuits about patents. Need to be honest and open with your staff if you want them to stay there and be happy. And stop with all the excessive parties - enough with all the alcohol at events.
