Pros

There are some really great people that work for Avid. At least out here on the West Coast there are. Some folks have been with the original companies for 10-15 years, and there's a very close-knit feeling in some respects. If you're a musician, you can get great deals. I guess video too. And that's about it for the pros anymore. There used to be many, many more.

Cons

A big one would be wondering every day if you're going to be a part of the inevitable next round of layoffs the management team is currently "not foreseeing." I've worked here for a while, and while I sometimes didn't like my job, I never felt scared for it every hour of every day. It feels as if there's NO security around here anymore. Constant offshoring seems to be detrimental to development.

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
