      Fast forward and bleep from this company. Company hype doesn't live up to the product hype.

      Pros

      Innovative product, but that's about it. Aside from the innovative product, which I admit is the best thing invented for TV, it's really hard to say anything more that's positive about the company.

      Cons

      Management from Senior level and downward are mediocre, want to be managers, who lack all the basics skills of "managing". They show high favoritism to those who brown nose and show high incompetency when it comes to recognizing those who truly contribute to the success of the organization.

      TiVo - once great, now mediocre

      Pros

      The past - it's a respected and recognized brand. It's a pretty laid-back work environment and very unix/linux-friendly for engineers. The development tools - compiler, debug tools, version control system - are fast and well-maintained. You get a TiVo for your desk and can watch TV all day if you can get away with it.

      Cons

      The present - the company is floundering 11 years after inception with 2 profitable quarter among the many poor ones. The benefits are pretty poor (no bonuses, no 401(k) match). The smart people that founded this company have apparently left to pursue other ventures. Since stock options are currently the only perk for non-management, the poor performance of the stock is also a big downside.
