Culture

Rovi cultivates an entrepreneurial and diverse work culture—helping employees thrive and succeed professionally.

Core Values

• Customer-focused – In all aspects of the business the customer drives our success. Loyal customers fuel success and growth.  Customers are external and internal; we treat each other with respect and integrity and with the best interest of the customer in all interactions.
• Teamwork – We understand the interdependence of our common goals, and collaborate across geographic, organizational and functional boundaries as one team to achieve outstanding results.
• Execution – We create goals, are clear about roles and responsibilities, provide latitude to individuals to self-manage and measure results.

Guiding Principles

• Employee-centred – We don't stand on hierarchy but seek to cultivate person-to-person relationships.  We support each other and have fun working together.
• Ethical behaviour – We are a principle-based team and protect confidential information, confront unethical actions, and demonstrate consistency between our words and actions.
• Fiscally balanced – We set and achieve aggressive financial targets that meet or exceed industry standards. We balance the need to invest with the need to get value for money. We balance the need to support our existing businesses with the need to develop new businesses both organically and by acquisition. We maintain appropriate staff for the needs of the business. We always invest in our people; tools, training and development.
• Innovation – We strive to be the leaders of innovation in our market.  We challenge everyone to think differently about what we do and how it is done. We encourage risk-taking, asking questions, talking about options and not dismissing new ideas. We reach across product boundaries to understand Rovi's solutions and how to leverage each other's work.
• Communication – We share information quickly and easily with staff at all levels.  We create mechanisms for employees to communicate their ideas sideways and upward.  We encourage managers to share relevant and timely information with their teams, and evaluate them on their ability to do so.
• Adaptability – We are an evolving company.  We expect to deal with ambiguity and quick changes in the business with a level of self-confidence and a positive outlook. We strive for improvement to make things better, not just to change for change's sake.
• Corporate citizenship –We strive to engage our employees in activities that increase global thinking and the appreciation of cultural differences.  We expect to give something back to the communities in which we do business and the communities that we serve.
  

Rovi values the diversity of its employees and is committed to maintaining an open and inclusive work environment.
