Rovi Corporation – “Insipid, lacklustre, shortsighted”

Pros

Not sure. Nope, not really anything good.

Actually there are some really good, fun and intelligent people working here. Problem is they'd be better off working where their ideas and brain power could be put to good use.

Cons

Company is struggling to provide value outside of IP licensing. Company depends on IP licensing.

For most people with any interest in doing something good or interesting at work, it makes for a very insipid environment.

Advice to Senior Management

Start leading. Start communicating regularly. Stop focussing on short term revenues. Start innovating. Ensure you are going to relevant in 5-10 years time.
