Pros

Great technology, great engineering teams with tremendous skills and industry understanding. The bottom rungs of this company have what it takes. The basic IP is still valid. The opportunity in the marketplace can be lost, and Avid is no longer a leader, but its still in the game.

Cons

Board flushed the CEO on down to just above the director level, and replaced with folks without any industry understanding or experience. Embraced the wrong internal messages from the remaining ladder climbers and have already paid a high price; then reversed direction again. The marketplace moves forward while products and resource direction flips and flops in MA.

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
