Pros

Couldn't find any compared to my pervious 5 organizations. It's odd but the culture is really bad and influenced by ill managers. May be free breakfast or mid night meal of the only plus point. May be salary too till some extent.

Cons

Incapable managers, politics, no cafeteria (only cold drinks n sandwiches), worst transport, they don't have sufficient cabs so they book ola for u. Focus on time spent on seat vs achieving results, lot of micro management even for the tenured ppl of 5+ yrs exp, backward culture where asking questions to managers is a sin! No market positioning and no job security. Have seen my team members sent home without any notice and 2 months basic. If you are slightly smarter than your manger, chances are you will get partially meets expectation rating, worst case you may be put on pip! Very old laptops and pantry is like a small home like kitchen. Doesn't look an mnc and IT company at all.

Pros

Love the energetic environment. Everyone works so hard to make it a family environment. Everyone is super helpful. Positive motivations daily.

Cons

Started in July after since then with this merged happening everything is getting bad. Everyday something positive goes away. Such a shame Time Warner let Charter break the machine that was well oiled.

Poor Culture and poorly skilled middle management personnel (TWC perspective).

Pros

If it's the only job you can get, then it's OK to work here. But there are better companies in better industries to work for.

Cons

1. People seem to be placed in middle to upper management positions based on seniority rather than aptitude (noticeable on the TWC side, not sure about the Charter side). 2. Perplexing and short-sided decisions are constantly being made by those who are put in positions in areas they know little about (possibly related to Con #1). 3. Charter upper management teams seem clueless about M&As, and there is an obvious lack of strategy on how to merge Charter, TWC, and Brighthouse (this might contribute to Con #2). 4. For TWC employees, the benefits are worse under Charter (not that the TWC benefits were all that great to begin with). 5. Not that TWC was all that innovative, but Charter is even more focused on minimizing costs than improving products. Former TWC customers will be worst off after than Charter-TWC merger than they would have been under stand-alone TWC or a Comcast-TWC merger (they can thank the FCC for this). 6. Charter in general is a very old school, traditional company. It will get boring and frustrating quickly for high-skilled workers younger than 50.
