"Let's do the time warp again!"

Pros

So much potential! Imagine if the merger had gone down the other way; TWC acquiring Charter? What a different company new TWC would be. It is not too late. There are still good people and potential to turn the inevitable exit of talent around! Wake up! Good place to work if you want to be a robot and simply be told what to do. If you like politics, this is the place for you!

Cons

Top down decision making. Small product decisions need to be run up the management chain. Software development process is a flash back to processes before most of their employees were born. Remember waterfall? They have HUGE overhead. They focus on command and control org charts, not modern product development processes like Agile and SAFE. Months to accomplish activities that TWC accomplished in days. Instead of focusing on merging two companies, management focuses on being "all in". All in means you WILL be reporting Fiddler's Green. TWC wasn't centrally located and was able to develop a navigator on millions of STB boxes and IP clients. The second largest cable company in the country doesn't have their own STB video product running in their offices.

Pros

Compensation is good and it's a nice schedule, no weekends, but that not enough to keep people around. They also provide good benefits.

Cons

Local management doesn't seem to understand how to do their job well. They constantly lie about different policies or what the future of business processes look like. They also lack the experience to understand a true business sales environment.

Pros

good benefits, PTO and base salary is competitive

Cons

Never been a part of a company that mgmt studied and managed from the worst way to manage. threats,no leadership and with the impending merger, it is getting worse. Saw an email from a Director that reminded employees that they "were just a number, dont forget that." The sales cycle is actually the non sales cycle. Every step along the way another dept does what it can to STOP the sale. Been in sales for over 20 years and this is the worst company I have seen in that regards. And yes, resume is warmed up and ready to go
