Rovi Corporation – “Not the best place in the valley to work, hence their name change to Rovi.”

Pros

Compensation is generally competitive and they have a competitive benefits plan.

Cons

It's not managed very well. Very disorganized place. They went through multiple rounds of layoffs and didn't handle them well. They also bought several companies and either gutted their products or the personnel or both and then either sold them off or more usually shut them down.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat the people who work for you as partners not employees. Treat your partners as valuable extensions of your employees. Treat your customers like they are your family you care about.
