Pros

Avid's Editor Technology and Enterprise media management systems, and Audio products are good and they have a long history of having great tools for pros and prosumers. Decent Pay. Open office atmosphere - easy access to shopping at a major shopping mall - competitive benefits.

Cons

Company lay offs are an annual occurence. Lack of inspiration from Company leaders. Disenfranchised leadership with distorted sense of purpose, killing any good idea, in what was a passionate company. Products are used in Major Motion Pictures and Television shows but the industry quietly questions or shuns Avid. No More - no sense of community - no sense of corporate family, fractured lack of culture, Management new hires do not have industry experience. Avid has also lost it's connection to it's roots e people who made it a great company were let go for SVP profits. Consistent rewarding of bad behavior in executive leadership. Shareprice has little to no value and employees are not awarded stock based compensation and do not have incentive to grow with the company, outside of being allowed to "keep their job". No work life balance - employees are expected to be available weekends, holidays, and over night.

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
