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.

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.
