Arrogant and clueless management have been killing this company!

Pros

There are a few dedicated employees left who care about Avid products and put customers first.

Cons

Since 2008, Avid has been on a steady decline and have lost their way in a marketplace where they were once dominant. Attrition has been high every year since then (cost cutting through many layoffs) and the company has let go many entertainment industry experts who knew the market needs and how to make a good product. Completely inept CEO and upper management do not know the industries Avid products belong to. They are out of touch and company morale can't get any lower. Who hired these clowns??

Pros

Avid was made up of very talented people who had a passion for the product. It was a very creative environment for a long time. It was at one time a great place to work - sorry, finding it hard to find anything 'pro' about Avid anymore.

Cons

Upper management is money hungry and led by a self-absorbed CEO. His ego is in the way of allowing Avid to ever recover. He's more interested in the next house he's buying than the health of the business.
