Slow Burn - Toxic - Technical SiriusXM Employee Review

Working at S/XM reminds me of the frog in the boiling water. If you put a frog in a cool pot of water and slowly turn up the temp to boiling it will not jump out and eventually die. This company works with fear. Most employees are so busy covering their jobs, they dont do their jobs. The "Peter Principle" applies. Management constantly reminds you that you are expendable. HR is a sham. They are simply a weapon that other management uses to lull you into a false sense of security that they care. Meanwhile HR is really towing the company line and has no interest whatsoever in the welfare of the employees. Technical employees are expected to work insane hours while they do everything in their power not to compensate you for it. They will force you to deduct lunch time from your pay even when you are on call and rarely get more than 5 minutes to eat your lunch. If you challenge it, they will whip out HR and legal and carefully impose veiled threats to your income or job. Management is nothing short of vile. Just remember anything you want or get should be in writing or it doesnt exist. They run technical staff as lean as humanly possible. To the point if one person is sick, the rest of the staff works 12 hour shifts until that person is back.
