Avid Technology – “Used to be a great place to work...”

Pros

Great people. Great product. Amazing challenges. Can be very stimulating place for people looking for a good challenge after a boring position.

Cons

Extraordinary pressure put on pro-video engineering. Senior management absolutely careless about employees life. You must be available 24hrs/7days a week in case something goes wrong with customer systems. Escalation process is totally broken, support staff needs to be restaffed and retrained and engineers must compensate in the mean time. Engineers are tired and tension can be felt.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more respectful about the key engineers. They are leaving the boat if you didn't notice already.
