Pros

Fantastic colleagues, great industry, great customers. Salary and Benefits are good.

Cons

Arrogant management.... "Do as I say" mentality, even if they are wrong (and so often have been... just follow Avid over the past 5 years). When their poor decisions result in not making the number, they lay off year after year after year. They finally laid off some of the executives, but the executive house needs to be emptied and hosed out. Sadly, so many good and talented people have been either laid off or have left. Many of us are out looking.

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
