I have been working at Avid for over 3 years now. Since then I’ve seen growth and although I’m pleased to be apart of that growth I am also seeing instances where Racial profiling plays a major factor in the company. At this time there are NO people of color in leadership roles unless they are a team lead. There have been instances where people with years of experience are being looked over based on the color of their skin. This company also looks at titles. If you’re a Director or Vice President then you receive more respect than being a specialist or just a coach. They hire Managers from the outside world to try and better the business and although some fits with the culture there are others that do not. Avidxchange culture is not the same. I understand with growth come change but don’t loose sight of those who helped with he growth. Avidxchange has no loyalty. This place disrespects people of color all the time. I am not of ethnic background however, the friends I met throughout the years are. Seeing them work so hard to achieve a goal and get overlooked by someone with less qualifications, a recent college student and white kills my soul. I have friends with Master Degrees that are still specialist. This is ridiculous! Don’t come to Avidxchange if you want career advancement if you’re a person of color. It scares me to think that this still occurs in 2019. You are constantly micromanaged by new managers that don’t even know the business and think numbers define us. I pray for this company.
