      Pros

      Very nice location (SF office), excellent 401k matching, good benefits, decent time off, remote work opportunity, travel opportunities. Good work life balance.

      Cons

      Executive team is run by a mother-company called Nagra which is in Switzerland. Their business alignment is not similar to the US market. Overseas teams make it hard to communicate. Product and technology is old and dated and has a very limited future. Managers have been there not because of skill but because of length of experience with the company. Pay is below standard in San Francisco Bay. You will not learn anything new at this company, but will use whatever you can do to keep the company from dying.

      Pros

      Was a great place to work before Nagra (Kudelski Group) bought our company. We had multiple products, an office full of employees. Our teams were making huge goals such as our middleware team had implemented a milestone of over 200 million set-top boxed with OpenTV middleware worldwide and everyone in the office was a team. Advertising signed 3 major MSO's to its Eclipse Product and rolled out a new product Eclipse Plus to the market.

      Cons

      After Kudelski did a hostile takeover of OpenTV back in 2010, departments were split off, personnel were shrunk and the old remainder of OpenTV was the Advertising Software group. Inevitably like all the other divisions of OpenTV, it was sold off in Oct 2014. The remainder of OpenTV's products are now Imagine Communications. OpenTV was a great medium size middleware, software company that had positive cash reserves and happy employees. Nothing positive came out of the Nagra/Kudelski take over.
