Business Outlook

Pros

Work felt very productive, the company was constantly upgrading equipment and services (for both customer and company benefit). Severance package was very reasonable/fair.

Cons

1 year post the merger, upper management decided all positions had to relocate to central location; this decimated the engineering team. Years of experience tossed away. This centralization happened in many departments company-wide, not just in engineering, but I am not familiar with the effects there.

Pros

You get to work with some of the best people and smartest people in the business. Also, the pay isn't too bad.

Cons

It is hard sometmes to imagine what is going on in the brains of upper management. I still cannot figure out why a company would want to move all of its employs from across the country to one place. Doesn't make sense, unless they feel the need to micromanage.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and Benefits are decent, not great but semi-competitive.

Cons

Leadership cares not for the employees. You will not have a training or a career pathing plan. You will be asked to do random things like move across the country or you don't have a job anymore. Cable-box TV is still their primary cash cow by far, and the days of cable-boxes are numbered. Many people have already cut the cord and the percentage of cord-cutters is growing. If you go to work for this company be smart and get in on the Internet Service Provider side of the business as that business line is not going anywhere anytime soon. The networking engineer piece of the business will be very important for years, if not decades to come, but the Cable TV side is a dead end business. Over the Top solutions are overwhelmingly consuming market share.
