      Lacking vision, culture, leadership

      Pros

      For those who are confused, TiVo (known for its DVRs) was acquired by Rovi, and the parent company took on the name of the acquired company because the latter had better brand/name recognition, and a better reputation among its chief customers (MSOs, Cable Companies). The acquisition and new name was very smart, and investors like the "instant" additional revenue.

      Cons

      Poor vision, leadership, and culture means this firm has a constant rotation of people. After only two years, I am an "old timer." The firm must constantly hire to replace all of the smart people who leave the directionless and dysfunctional culture and leaders. The firm over-promised financial synergies to investors without fully understanding the challenging business model of the newly acquired company. They are struggling to figure out how to fulfill obligations to existing customers while desperately trying to grow revenue and cut staffing. Operationally, they are significantly behind their peers, with inept teams, tools, and processes. Leaders are reluctant to modernize due to organizational power struggles and in-fighting among different business groups that must fight for earned revenue and budgets.

      Company was just taken over by another company (Rovi). And they are very large and and will just make the company culture more corporate
