Pros

Cutting edge technology. Really great developers. My boss, Pete Balkus, was absolutely great. Hands on. Technical. The best mentor I ever had.

Cons

The only thing I can say is that Avid is cutting edge. You need to use your brain. Everyone around you is absolutely professional. This job requires using the parts of your brain that you might otherwise have forgotten. But, while it is challenging, its very, very rewarding.

Pros

The employees made the company an enjoyable place to work. Truly talented, smart engineers willing to share knowledge filled the halls. Exciting products and projects were the norm. No real politics to speak of...anyone who engaged in that sort of nonsense was short lived there.

Cons

I left on my own a couple years ago and at that time morale was in a deep dark hole. I've heard it's worse now. Management routinely hands down real head-scratcher decisions. The senior staff lies to the rank and file to the point that company meetings are predictable BS sessions. There is no respect for employees. The current trend is to outsource everything possible, even products that require deep knowledge of the quirks of the systems. They didn't seem to learn their lesson from when they went that route several years ago.
