Was a great company but not any more
Software Engineering Manager (Former Employee), Alviso, CA – April 24, 2013
Pros: summer bbq event.
Cons: no business vision. management is very opaque.
TiVo used to be an innovator but not anymore. The management vision was not clear. Products are all market followers.

There are a lot of excellent engineers. They started to leave the company though. The company had hard time to retain top talents.

Dysfunctional management team creates unhealthy culture
MANAGER (Current Employee), Alviso, CA – December 3, 2012
Pros: parties and perks
Cons: lack of true leadership and vision
Some nice people and perks at this company. Several VP's and directors should have been released years ago. Engineering teams are at odds with one another and User Experience team has too much control over the direction of a product they've done very little to improve over the past few years. It's time for an overhaul!

Pioneering digital TV company with amazing engineering talent, but...
Director Engineering (Current Employee), Alviso – May 11, 2012
TiVo has been around for over a decade and have some amazing talent within the company. I've found that the staff to be extremely bright and talented, but IMHO, executive management have not been able to find the optimal method of utilizing the talent to their fullest potential. TiVo as a company is transitioning from a CE focused company to a partnership – more... company. However, in this transition they have lost focus on innovation. TiVo product offering is outdated and in many ways behind industry standards. TiVo culture is very relaxed and I've been able to find great work/life balance; to the point where I no longer find work challenging. – less

A great product, a great brand, disappointing market share
Executive Producer (Former Employee), San Jose, CA – March 5, 2012
Pros: smart, good people
Cons: uncertain future, sluggish subscriber growth
TiVo has always had the best DVR product on the market by far, but some early strategic missteps and a patent environment that allowed competitors to copy the vasic functionality cost the company the market dominance the product deserved.
