Pros

Colleagues, products, industry are the best reasons to work at Avid. Very smart and creative engineering team building the products. Complex, challenging and state of the art products that provide many opportunities to grow skills in a variety of software domains. Pride in how customers (film editors, broadcasters, etc.) used the products. When I left, the senior mngt was capable. Sr. Mngt has changed since then and I can't comment.

Cons

Was difficult to balance family/work life. Long hours were required since engineering team was oversubscribed. Some politics in upper levels of Mngt.

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
