Pros

The people in the trenches are some of the smartest I have ever been around.

Cons

Everything on the exec level is distorted due to the clueless and arrogant CEO (who keeps giving himself raises). Head of Product just wants to keep the CEO from firing him. Execs keep leaving, even those handpicked by the CEO (see CFO, CMO); employees doing the actual work are leaving in droves after receiving their bonuses. Avid Everywhere could soon be Avid Nowhere.

Pros

• Some coworkers try to support each other despite the environment • You quickly learn how to handle stress (whether you want to or not)

Cons

• Toxic and reactive management style • Constantly shifting expectations with little to no clear direction • Unrealistic workload with pressure to meet metrics that don’t reflect reality • Lack of accountability from leadership—issues are pushed down instead of addressed • Poor communication across the board, leading to confusion and wasted time • Employees are not supported • Burnout is common and ignored
