Pros

- Competitive Pay - Pretty good benefits - Some people aren't complete clowns

Cons

The tech stack is horribly outdated and you'll spend 90% of your time putting out fires. If you're lucky, the person who caused the problem will still be there, but they probably will have quit. No one has any idea what's going on, leadership is absolutely clueless, even about how much they don't know, and the company is operating in a dying industry. Sales makes promises engineering cannot possibly keep. There's other places to work in the Triangle area - don't make the mistake of working here.

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.
