Pros

Was a great place to work before Nagra (Kudelski Group) bought our company. We had multiple products, an office full of employees. Our teams were making huge goals such as our middleware team had implemented a milestone of over 200 million set-top boxed with OpenTV middleware worldwide and everyone in the office was a team. Advertising signed 3 major MSO's to its Eclipse Product and rolled out a new product Eclipse Plus to the market.

Cons

After Kudelski did a hostile takeover of OpenTV back in 2010, departments were split off, personnel were shrunk and the old remainder of OpenTV was the Advertising Software group. Inevitably like all the other divisions of OpenTV, it was sold off in Oct 2014. The remainder of OpenTV's products are now Imagine Communications. OpenTV was a great medium size middleware, software company that had positive cash reserves and happy employees. Nothing positive came out of the Nagra/Kudelski take over.

Pros

The boss was fair and reasonable. Hourly pay was reasonable for the work expectation. Some of the regular dev employees had much higher time demands than I, so in that sense I was happy to be a contractor.

Cons

The projects I saw were not in the WOW factor grouping, like you really want to work on that project. There is some favoritism in this place around shared foreign nationalities in my view. I have seen it in other companies as well.

Pros

I've never met a more dedicated group of people. The team is 100% customer focused, Support, Training, Product, Sales, Engineering, QA and Management. The Cable Traffic and billing industry has unique needs and the current staff has extensive experience. Our customers respect us.

Cons

The Cable industry is changing and consolidating, thus the marketplace shrinking. The Comcast and Time Warner Cable consolidation will make like difficult for OpenTV
