Pros

Really cool products, really great product/service roadmap

Cons

Operationally, Avid survives on the backs of a few very key employees. Demanding hours, global offices that require travel but must travel Economy even on 15-20 hour flights on your personal time, unclear if we are even getting raises this year despite being promised one, increases every year to health insurance costs.

Pros

Some interesting products but they're starting to collect dust versus being the former industry standard

Cons

Flailing, desperate times here with an even bleaker future on deck for 2016. The first layoff of the new year has gone down. But irregardless of the recent reduction in force to cut operating expenses, Avid still went ahead and spent a bundle on a completely uninspired, lackluster, cliche Global Sales meeting in January that left everyone wondering if the executive leadership team and particularly sales leadership are living in some parallel universe! So frighteningly out of touch. But then the pompous CEO I his tailor made suit was probably experiencing withdrawals from not being up on his pedestal and on a royal stage and lying again to his subjects that cancelling this pathetic party was not an option. Executives at Avid have completely ruined anything and everything that was positive and respectable. Only the rude and those who are too afraid to move on with their lives will survive there for much longer. Most will not hang around past this year as the demise continues and the walls further crumble. Watching a slow death and executive greed is what you'll see here.

Pros

The vision was great! My boss saw a lot of potential in me and wanted to see me succeed. There was travel and the ability to stay in some of the best hotels. Training was extensive and co-workers were helpful. Benefits were great!

Cons

There was no work/life balance. The CEO is terrible Huge wave of layoffs at any given time
