Not looking up for this company - Anonymous employee OpenTV Employee Review

Fun company to work for

Can be insular and closed off

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.

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.
