TiVo – “Not as much fun as it used to be”

Pros

We make a cool product and people get excited when you tell them where you work. We try to subscribe to the "Work hard, play hard" policy. We have a PS3 and Rock Band, as well as foosball and regular "beer bashes".

Cons

We are understaffed and constantly and crazily trying to meet deadlines without fixing old problems first. The stress level and pressure continue to grow. Unfortunately, we don't get much time to "play hard" because we're too exhausted.
