Pros

Talented team, good engineering managers and a chilled place to work with decent amenities in office. Very good compensation according to work done at office.

Cons

Higher management and product management decisions seem to be opaque. They call themselves a tech team, but there is a general lack of risks taken in product or technology which is not hindering growth but also bleeding out many talented engineers causing huge knowledge gap. As there are no risks taken, existing tech for certain product teams are quite obsolete and hence the learning is capped in those teams which in turn hinders career growth.

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.
