Still something that can be saved

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great technology, great engineering teams with tremendous skills and industry understanding. The bottom rungs of this company have what it takes. The basic IP is still valid. The opportunity in the marketplace can be lost, and Avid is no longer a leader, but its still in the game.

Cons

Board flushed the CEO on down to just above the director level, and replaced with folks without any industry understanding or experience. Embraced the wrong internal messages from the remaining ladder climbers and have already paid a high price; then reversed direction again. The marketplace moves forward while products and resource direction flips and flops in MA.

Avid sucks

Business Outlook

Pros

Avid Technology used to have good products, and the support of the user community. It acquired some very good companies.

Cons

Avid management have completely wasted their market position and screwed many of their employees. They started with some of the most innovative products out there, but squandered their market capital with bad decisions and disrespect for their employees. The upper management lies and misrepresents to everyone inside and outside the company. They are outsourcing everything they possibly can--manufacturing, engineering, test, HR, sales. Most of the great engineers that built the products have left or been fired. They don't seem to have a strategy all all except for cutting costs. Meanwhile the CEO and other top level management in the corporate headquarters and at the divisions are milking the company for all they can, while at the same time destroying it.
