The people are amazing at Hudl. Everyone is passionate about the work that they do. As a bonus, everyone also is committed to the impact that our Products have on athletes, coaches, athletic directors, etc. Pay is competitive for the Midwest C-Suite is committed to a strategy that will make sure Hudl is around for the long haul and not just the next Tech company to have a round of layoffs. That strategy is very transparent as well. Flexible work environment is great for people like me who enjoys going to the office to be able to work very well with the half of my team who is local and the other half that prefers working remotely.
Cons
I'm in the office about 3-4 times a week and while the free lunch is amazing, we do Taco Tuesday every Tuesday, and I think I'm past the point of weekly tacos.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. As much as I love to hear from our long-tenured Hudlies, it’s refreshing to get the perspective of someone who’s newer to the team. We’re serious about creating a best-in-class experience for our coaches, athletes and analysts, and we maintain the same standards when it comes to our team. It’s great that you have experienced the benefits of our flexible work environment and benefits, like free lunch and snacks at HQ. We’re fortunate to have Chef Dylan and the Clean Slate crew serving up their delicious food. And thankfully, we don’t just offer tacos on Tuesdays! Thanks again for sharing your feedback. Glad to have you on the team.
-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.
