Was once a shiny star....

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented creative, employees, at times decent structure, no wasted resources. Invested in top notch systems.

Cons

Unfortunately Avid has been on a downhill spiral since they incorporated their brands under the Avid umbrella. Hiring more and more management upper management with no experience in video or audio who do not understand the space, products or their customer. Always paid low for the industry. Revolving door of management and continued to lay off top employees and groups.

Great company, great products - management lost in the woods

Business Outlook

Pros

Good product lineup. Company products are the market leaders in many sectors. Burlington offices are pretty. Pay and benefits are competitive. Easy job.

Cons

Recent brain/talent drain. Management is lost, has no concrete direction. Product managers have no ideas and/or are not trying to develop their products; most features and new products are born out of engineering with little or no real customer interaction. Engineering is throwing things at the wall to see what sticks because nobody else is setting a clear direction. Most of engineering is fighting fires most of the time (they've even named it: 'code blue' program). Very little opportunity to explore new tech, develop your career, etc.

Pros

Many like-minded engineers and musicians working in the Audio divisions. You get to work on industry standard products that professionals and home recording hobbyists are using to make music. Excellent employee discount. Good work/life balance.

Cons

A lot of process imposed on the West Coast offices by the Burlington headquarters. Salary is ok, but not very competitive for the Silicon Valley.
