Pros

- The audio engineering teams I've worked with at Avid are particularly strong and passionate about the products they create. Working along side people like that is inspiring. - The engineering management is strong, combining clear goals and directives with some flexibility to innovate. - The customers we support are also inspiring. You can't listen to the radio or go to the movies without encountering works of are that were created/edited/mixed in Pro Tools.

Cons

- Product roadmaps are not always clear and longer term goals seem difficult to resource. - Executive management seems out-of-touch with products, customers, and employees. - Very deep cuts into the US based teams over the past 5 years have created numerous challenges. - Very little confidence in executive management's ability to grow the business.

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
