Pros

It's hard to imagine a workplace better than Hudl in my opinion. Our benefits are bar none—401K matching, stock options, flexible time-off, summer and winter holiday breaks, competitive medical coverage, and a fully-paid sabbatical vacation every 5 years. Not to mention an amazing office space with free daily lunch and adult snack time in our Lincoln HQ location. In my time at Hudl I got married, got a dog, bought a house, and had two kids. Not to mention both kids were born in the COVID-19 pandemic era (talk about a horrible time to have a major life change). I've literally grown up with Hudl and can't picture a better company to work for in my most transformative years. I've seen a lot of people come and go in my time at Hudl and every time I wonder if they're truly happier at their next place of employment or if they just chased the "grass is always greener" mentality and wish they could come back. It's hard to know and probably varies for each person! But I've always told myself that I'll keep working at Hudl so long as I'm challenged, respected, and encouraged daily. After nearly 7 years, that's still true! And especially important as a woman in a leadership position within a sports technology company—both adjectives that tend to be filled by male-dominated roles.

Cons

The only con I struggle with Hudl as an employer is our compensation. When the company compares our titles directly to other places, we're paid similarly. But Hudl is unique! We wear a LOT of hats and the things I do in my job are a culmination of probably five other jobs at other locations. It's hard to compare apples to oranges so in my opinion, we're underpaid. However, we truly do have the best benefits I've ever seen and a culture/team atmosphere that can't be beat. Salary is something I'm currently willing to negotiate to get that flexibility in other areas of my life. I know Hudl's senior leadership is working daily to improve our compensation philosophy and I've recently gotten to see it first hand so I know they're working on it and I'm excited for its release. Once that's made official, Hudl will truly be *the* place to work.

Thanks for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. While there are plenty of great insights I could call out, I think you summed it up best: Hudl is a place where you can count on being challenged, respected and encouraged. You’re right, we do ask a lot of our team members, but we also support and reward them accordingly. As you also mentioned, we’ve undertaken a major compensation review for every job to ensure that compensation meets or exceeds market. And things like our health coverage, robust parental leave and flexible work are all parts of what make our compensation package competitive and well-rounded. I’m proud that Hudl has been an integral part of both your career and personal journeys, and that you’re an integral part of our team’s leadership group. We're lucky to have you on the team!

Pros

-Positive Business Outlook: Users love Hudl and it's a very forward-thinking product that has a great place in the future -Values-led culture/norms: People are at the heart of how we operate -Very talented overall workforce: Our bar on hiring is super high and performance management process works if there are clear underperformers. -People genuinely get along with each other for the moist part - far better than most organizations with huge silo walls.

Cons

-Decision-making bottleneck at exec-team level with some pretty hands on leaders in the weeds on too much. -Some teams are quite top-heavy, a poor micro-culture on the team, and have less accountability than they should (Finance/Accounting specifically) -We can settle on talent in key roles that is in a key hub where we have an office since less remote hiring is approved.
