Pros

A pioneer (invented the DVR space), and one of a few consumer electronics that people often 'love' and are passionate about. Very open culture (encourages sharing of ideas with people at all levels of the org), and a real 'we can do this' attitude especially off of the big Legal wins.

Cons

A company that is still trying to figure itself out, to get the credit it deserves and to go the distance and be the leader. Is poised to be a leader in the converging market of home entertainment (uniting in one device what many others only offer a portion of.) Challenges ahead are delivery on promises and executing on strategy and showing that through increased sales (both revenue and subscriber growth.)

Pros

Most people are nice and the environment is not as stressful, free fruit, bicycles available for breaks, parties throughout the year, everyone being paid on holidays even contractors (this no longer applies but it was nice while it lasted).

Cons

Lack of communication including upper management and contractors, issues with documents being poorly written, no room for career growth, upper management employees act all high and mighty, continuing to hire more contractors when there is no space, rarely converts contractors to full-time employees.

Pros

No position is without responsibility, autonomy, and respect. The owner allows employees to make decisions and take initiative. Plus, dress is casual and hours run from 8-4 or 8:30- 4:40 (full-time).

Cons

Its a small office so vertical movement within company is nearly impossible. Also, everyone is cross-trained to do each others jobs so that we can cover each other in the event of vacation or absence (vacation and absences put a strain on rest of staff).
