Pros

Arcade area, free lunch, fun people (peers), fast-paced, after work events (90% of event involve alcohol consumption), free healthcare, one trip per year to a professional sporting event.

Cons

Decisions are made from the top-down with little to no consideration for after effects on employees, the coach relations department gets neglected by the rest of the company, no one cares about how their decisions will effect them. Every employee is in love with Hudl for the first few months (they "drink the koolaid") until they realize that upper management is selfish, egotistical, manipulative and irresponsible. The "fun culture" that attracts people to the company isn't as it seems once you start working there.

Hudl Response

Thanks for the feedback. We're sorry the experience didn't meet your expectations and you feel our Coach Relations Team doesn't get the love it deserves. We do our best to keep their experiences in mind any time a new product or campaign goes out the door. We recently created a new position within Coach Relations – Tech Lead – where a handful of Hudlies communicate with the Product Team to report common issues and keep their own department updated on what's coming down the pipe by attending iteration meetings and even working alongside the devs for extended periods of time. If you have any other issues you'd like to discuss, we're always open to suggestions on ways to become better. Feel free to email me directly at alli@hudl.com.

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.
