Company Profile
Founded in 1997, TiVo, a pioneer in home entertainment, created a brand-new product and service category with the development of the world's first digital video recorder (DVR). Today, the company continues to revolutionize the way consumers watch and access home entertainment, by making the TiVo DVR the focal point of the digital living room: a center for sharing and experiencing television, movies, video downloads, music, photos, and more.
We, the TiVo people…
Built 10 years ago on the belief that we, the viewers, deserve freedom and choice when it comes to television, TiVo has remained true to the big idea of a truly democratic entertainment experience: YOU decide what to watch, when to watch, where to watch it, and even how.
By continually pushing innovation and technology to deliver an easy-to-use service that, as TiVo co-founder Jim Barton says, "just works," TiVo has created a unique corporate culture in Silicon Valley, dedicated to the idea of TV your way-in whatever shape or form it may come.
Top 5 truisms about working at TiVo:
-
We take fun corporate culture seriously.
Because we work hard, we make sure to play hard when we can. From spooktacular Halloween parties to summer carnivals to community service projects, we PAUSE at regular intervals to just relax and enjoy each other, our families, and our community.
-
We wear many "antennas."
It doesn't take Spidey senses to realize you'll take on more roles and responsibilities than what may be outlined in your job description. Not because you're required, per se, but rather there's just something about that big, little guy that touches, moves, or inspires you to go that extra mile.
-
Of course we drink the Kool-Aid.
No chicken-or-egg question here: Until TiVo hit the market, no one had ever heard of a "Digital Video Recorder." We're proud to have forever changed the way people see TV. And since many of us were customers before we signed on as employees, TiVo is full of passionate people that are happy to both practice and preach our future-is-now philosophy: With TiVo, you can turn your TV onto anything, any time.
-
We work at fast-forward speed.
As the worlds of broadcast and broadband rapidly converge, we value both innovators and team members willing to roll up their sleeves and work hard at keeping us on the cutting-edge of digital convergence while staying true to our TiVo heritage.
-
Really, it's about YOU.
Remember, TiVo was founded on the core values of personal choice, freedom, and control. As an individual, YOU matter. From the top to the bottom of the TiVo organization, we value and appreciate feedback and ideas from every single employees. With a liberal open-door policy and regular company meetings, you can rest assured you enjoy every opportunity to be seen, heard, and to make your mark in this unforgettable journey we affectionately call the TiVolution.
