Cons
Welcome to Big Pharma! Here you will learn the art of working with no leadership, no planning, no support, and definitely no encouragement. Meet Middle Management, comprised of arrogant sycophants endlessly promoted due to their excellent bootlicking skills. Upper Management is next up on the tour; the most shielded from the daily exercise of putting out fires caused by Middle Management's ineptitude, they may know your name as a lower-level employee but don't worry, they will never actually work with you. If you head to the bathroom and encounter someone sobbing in a stall, be a pal and pass them a tissue; it may be you one day. Try telling HR about being bullied and undermined and you'll be wasting your breath; that time would be better spent job hunting. If you're extremely lucky, you may get to work with a manager who doesn't call you four-letter names, belittle you in group meetings, or request justification for your every breath. The most aggressive and ruthless at Avid are rewarded with promotions, either by bulldozing everyone else around them or by threatening to quit, while the actual hard workers are given flat reviews and BS reasons for the lack of upward mobility. Upper and Middle Management know they are unworthy of their titles and positions and so they guard their power viciously and refuse to allow anyone to grow who may usurp their sovereignty. I really wish this was hyperbole. If you yearn to work with talented people who inspire you to be better, then walk away from Avid and do not look back. If you value your self-esteem and independence, then delete Avid from your browser history and find something else, anything else. If you have too much soul and are looking for a way to whittle it down piece by piece, then by all means, proceed. If you are looking for a corporate drone job putting out fires for a decent paycheck and never really getting ahead, please, apply to Avid.
