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

Jun 23, 2008

1.0

TiVo Employee in Alviso, CA:   (Current Employee)

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.

Advice to Senior Management

Take courses in management to understand the role of a manager and understand what people management skills consist of, outside of brown-nosing. Sr. management is highly over-rated and many have been promoted up the ladder far to quickly and easily, simply because they were brown nosers. Few really did the work and often times pushed work onto those who did do the work, but took every credit for it.
