Pros

- Great Product Ideas from the tech team - Supportive managers - talented engineers - can't really think of anything else

Cons

CEO loves making empty promises to our customers. "Avid connect" was a great platform to lure customers into believing that Avid is still alive and well, when the truth is, it's a sinking ship. Product quality has gone from bad to worse because of low budget. With the CEO promising ridiculous features and launch dates of the products, teams have no choice but to launch new consoles with very poor quality. Back when I started to work at Avid, I was proud to tell everyone where I worked at, and what I've been working one. Just one year in, and I'm too embarrassed to tell my friends and customers in the media industry where I worked at. Now that they realised that their products have no future, they're just banking on software subscriptions.

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
