      Not as much fun as it used to be

      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.

      TiVo - once great, now mediocre

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The past - it's a respected and recognized brand. It's a pretty laid-back work environment and very unix/linux-friendly for engineers. The development tools - compiler, debug tools, version control system - are fast and well-maintained. You get a TiVo for your desk and can watch TV all day if you can get away with it.

      Cons

      The present - the company is floundering 11 years after inception with 2 profitable quarter among the many poor ones. The benefits are pretty poor (no bonuses, no 401(k) match). The smart people that founded this company have apparently left to pursue other ventures. Since stock options are currently the only perk for non-management, the poor performance of the stock is also a big downside.
