Mediocre quality products, empty promises from CEO.

Analyst

CEO approval

Business outlook

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.

Avid Retirement job

Business outlook

Pros

Best retirement job. Sit around and get paid. Go in late, check out early. Work from home. Good health benefits - get dentures done

Cons

No career growth, nothing to learn, old technology. Wasted youth and time. Management spent big wasteful projects and scourged on small things.

Slow and painful death of a once Titan of the industry

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Decimated by corporate greed and bad leadership. Unable and unwilling to keep up with the changes in the industry have lead to this sad demise. Legacy products will continue to be used but as these older people get replaced by the next gen workforce things will get tougher and tougher.

Cons

Incredibly top heavy with senior management while continually laying off all other staff.
