Pros

Many nice people Good stock if you're at the top You get to see your CEO on CNBC

Cons

If Myspace and Blackberry Ltd were to have a baby, it'd be a TiVo. TiVo is that old friend that's always about to turn their life around. Lose weight, stop smoking, go back to school, etc... for years the stock is about to take off and the company is going to finally make a profit... except, each year... nothing. No profits No bonuses No 401K match The cars in the parking lot in Alviso keep getting broken into Company closes during the holidays and that time comes out of your vacation balance HR pushes employees to rate it as a great place to work

Pros

Annual company BBQ, Free TiVo box

Cons

Extreme work overload No " thank you " from management for the 60 hours a week and sometimes weekend work required to just maintain your work duties. Management is wack. In meetings, it's like an inquisition. You are constantly bombarded with questions about your project's status and if you don't know an answer, your boss scolds you because it makes him look bad. Very political, very confused environment. One group doesn't know what the next is doing. Everyone watching out for their own.Even job responsibilities are clouded. Lots of micromanagement. Only 10 payed holidays ( most companies have 11 -12). Only 2 weeks vacation per year to start.No matching 401K. They won't hire more people to relieve the already overloaded work environment, you just get to work more hours. Your job responsibilities could change overnight.Product Management has no clue. When the economy gets better... I'm out of this circus.

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The tech stack is horribly outdated and you'll spend 90% of your time putting out fires.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.
