The number has been going down with major layoffs constantly but I can't seem to find any info that is fresher than 2018, when it was around 1,500. How low did the upper management managed to get it to since then? I'd be surprised if we were above... —  read more 

2021 will be another year which includes multiple layoffs as it is the best defense against bankruptcy and a way for incompetent executives to make huge pay checks. Insider info isn't hard to get. There are a lot of weak links + blabber mouths... —  read more 

Avid upper management is always so trigger-happy when it comes to layoffs, EXCEPT when management needs cutting. Everybody here knows that our management is bloated. There are many useless positions with so few direct reports that getting rid of half... —  read more 

Last week was my fourth anniversary working here. Honestly, I didn't expect I'd last that long. There was one thing that was a constant from day one - and that's layoffs. And if layoffs are not happening, then there's always a threat of layoffs. And... —  read more 

Expect more waves to come. Company still bigger than it can afford (and needs) to be. If your role is non-essential, if you are in an unprofitable group, or if you are not a high performer, look for something else or regret later. I hope you... —  read more 

Anyone else? I actually liked working for Avid so this is a huge bummer. Have not received the email with my separation package yet... not sure what to expect from HR, etc.

Lets jump up and down about our great results for Q2 2020. Oh brother. Revenue in 2020 will be less than revenue in 1995 (which was $406 million). You can look it up. Lower revenue 25 years later? Wow! Now that is certainly growth! We are at... —  read more 

A spiraling disaster. No innovation or game changing new products. Continued decline in revenue. Awful customer support. Products full of reliability issues and bugs. We used to design our own k–ler products. Now we buy poor quality 3rd party... —  read more 

How many were quietly exited this time, under the excuse of the pandemic? Cancellation of a couple of big deals to blame? Talk of 18 month furlough programs being initiated from Avid HQ?

They try to do it quietly and off the radar. That doesn’t work. Once again long term employees targeted to benefit the executive team and their self centered desire to cash in on big pay checks and stock options. You should be ashamed of... —  read more 

I am so tired of hearing that the long-time employees are a group of over-paid, non-contributors who add no value. To all you new generation AVID employees what have you done to turn the company around?? Absolutely nothing! The long-term employees... —  read more

In April 2017 the executive staff proclaimed the AVID Transformation was complete. As a result profits would come pouring in and the stock would soar (double, triple or quadruple). Even if that happens it will still be a long, long way from the $65... —  read more 

On a rare upbeat note it is nice to once again see women in executive positions and being promoted. This is a welcome change since the days of the prior neanderthal CEO who viewed women as simply servants. Some of the folks on the executive staff are... —  read more 

Word is that Avid is putting big time pressure on their worldwide dealers to book equipment orders by the end of the quarter for deals that aren't closed, leaving them holding the can if the deal falls through after quarter end. This may look good... —  read more

Place your bets... Without the Harmonic patent settlement this time, how will Avid fill the void this quarter? If the going is good: NAB was a big boost for Avid If the going is bad: NAB stalled deals in to Q2

Transformation Complete. Didn't work out too well. Loss for 2017 of $13,550,000.00 Loss per common share 0.33 These kind of results won't keep people employed. Blame it on Louis Hernandez who is now the "Fall-Guy" for the Board-of-Directors. 100's of... —  read more
