Pros
The coworkers were very friendly and knowledgeable. These are definitely the people who make TiVos great but don't get the acknowledgement for their work. Fun parties even a few where you can bring a guest or your family. There is free fruit and 25 cents sodas. The working hours are very flexible and I really enjoyed learning and gaining the experience during my time at TiVo.
Cons
All contractors are treated poorly. After your one year contract is up, you either find another job or wait three months and may be able to come back for work. TiVo is made up of roughly 60% contractors and 40% full-time employees. Even if you provide the knowledge and skills to move TiVo forward as a company, you will still be let go when your contract is over. Managers need to be reviewed because many of them do not know how to do their jobs. Some seem like they got the job via connections instead of management skills and experience. The company is not moving forward in creating DVRs that are beyond the capabilities of what is available right now.
