I had a really bad experience interviewing with Tivo. After completing 7 interview rounds with their teams in both Bangalore and the USA, they completely stopped communicating and didn't even let me know the outcome. They kept saying the feedback was positive after each round, but after all 7 interviews, when I was expecting to hear back about their final decision, they acted very unprofessionally. I definitely wouldn't recommend Tivo.

I had to explain my experience in TV Broadcasting Technology in my current job, and then they asked me technical questions about Broadcasting Protocol. This was back in November 2004 and I honestly don't remember all the details because I had been evaluated up to the Manager level at Rovi and stayed there for 10 years. The interview felt pretty smooth and easy for me because I had previously worked at Sony France as a Software development engineer for 2 years, so I was able to answer all the TV broadcasting technology questions perfectly.

First there is a phone screening and if that goes well, you schedule an interview. They give you directions to TiVo, which is kinda hidden. Next, it's either a 1 on 1 or a group interview. The interviews might take all day. After the interviews, they'll call you if you got the job.
