Pros

Smart and friendly engineers on the grass root level

Cons

Mediocrity becomes more evident on the higher management and technical leadership levels, after many management shuffling, mini-layoffs (which did not make sense), and voluntary leaving of many engineers to companies like Facebook, Google, etc.

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.
