Charter Communications Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Charter has a very immature software development environment and management. The primary middleware group had no automated integration testing and little unit test coverage of their code. I lost count of the times that I had to explain to managers why having functioning integration testing was important and it never seemed to register even though we were seeing frequent production failures. The attitudes of management made it very difficult to improve the software quality of deployed releases."

"I've worked for Charter for over a year now and I enjoy the work environment."

"I have worked for Charter Communications for about 20 years. I was overall very satisfied with them. Up until last year that is. Complete restructure of the engineering department. I feel the company will hurt from this in the long run and is already losing extremely valuable employees."

"I regret starting this job, I had to spend money to get the tools required to start the job if that makes any sense, and they also take money out of my check for other tools I bought from them. So they bend you over backwards with no set wage. Each job requires being brought back to spec but we only have a small time frame and fixing some jobs is like working for 4 dollars an hour. It is a slave job, do not work for this company."

"I've worked for Charter for the past 2 years and I have learned a great deal through the process, however the new leadership does not seem to understand how operations really work and are making changes on process that are hindering project completion, team morale and the ability for moving up withing the company. Use of technology and tools are outdated."

"Dependent on different groups to get work done. Those groups are generally less than helpful."

"I've worked for Charter for 3 years, the company has a focus on trying to be the best provider in the area it provides services for."

"The only thing this company treats worse than its customers is its employees. Employees are pushed day and night due to poor management and a lack of planning. Problems are dealt with by hiding them or placing blame on subordinates. Pride and appearance outweigh performance and results."

"Great stepping stone as far as experience in telecommunications."
