Pros

Lead engineers in development teams are very competent. Principal engineers are accessible and are great resources for junior engineers.

Cons

There is a lot of attrition. The support teams are understaffed and poorly trained. Management doesn't appreciate the need to service technical debt. The quality and roles of manager vary significantly within the organization. There is often a desire by managers to delegate responsibility (i.e. give dotted line authority) to technical leads.

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.
