Pros

When I first started at Hudl, I was blown away by the culture and people. It was so supportive, engaging, and felt extremely employee-first. The people remain fantastic, but unfortunately the culture has taken a down-turn within the last few years. - Excellent team members and relationship-building - Fairly competitive pay and benefits - Remote work, unlimited PTO, and flexible work schedule - Sabbaticals that they provide for 5 year anniversaries are really special and unique

Cons

- Too hyper-focused on acquisition after acquisition and growing revenue as fast as possible at potentially the risk of long-term success - Multiple RIFs, organizational changes, and policy updates in short amount of time, eroding trust and decreasing employee-first culture - Vocally supportive of DEIAB and neurodivergence, but not enough tangible action - Priorities repeatedly shifting very short-notice, leading to wasted effort, confusion, stress, short deadlines, and incomplete/lower-quality products - Inconsistent performance management

Pros

-Positive Business Outlook: Users love Hudl and it's a very forward-thinking product that has a great place in the future -Values-led culture/norms: People are at the heart of how we operate -Very talented overall workforce: Our bar on hiring is super high and performance management process works if there are clear underperformers. -People genuinely get along with each other for the moist part - far better than most organizations with huge silo walls.

Cons

-Decision-making bottleneck at exec-team level with some pretty hands on leaders in the weeds on too much. -Some teams are quite top-heavy, a poor micro-culture on the team, and have less accountability than they should (Finance/Accounting specifically) -We can settle on talent in key roles that is in a key hub where we have an office since less remote hiring is approved.
