Hudl Lives Up to the Hype

Pros

Hudl has found a way to actually live out its values and maintain its 'start-up energy'. Though I'd consider Hudl an established company, we've somehow found a way to intertwine the creativity, ambition, and youthfulness of a start-up with the stability and benefits of a 'grown-up' company. We hang out after-hours and give each other nicknames, we write all over the walls (because they're all whiteboard), but we're not afraid to move quickly and instill change, putting our heads down and working our butts off. It's tough to find a company that truly lives out its values, and I promise you, Hudl does just this. I know this sounds like a cliche advertisement, but there's no more honest way to put it. My coworkers aren't coworkers, they're my family; we strive to dominate every aspect of what we do; don't sugarcoat anything - no compliment sandwiches, ever; listen and act on advice; and are right in the thick of things with our consumer.

Cons

It's a fast-paced company, so at times you'll feel uncomfortable and wish things would just stay the same. There's no growth without a little discomfort though.

Thank you for the positive review! We're so glad you've enjoyed your time here. It's thanks to Hudlies (like you) that those values have stuck around as solid guidelines. Know that if you ever have concerns about that fast pace, the #realtalk is welcome.

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.

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

Good benefits, free lunch and coffee, opportunity to make decisions.

Cons

A LOT of after work events that are "optional" but seem frowned upon to miss. You also have to buy into the culture and ideals 100% if you don't want to be an outlier.

Thanks for taking the time to review. We definitely don't want anyone to feel pressured into those optional events and totally understand that our culture isn't a perfect fit for everyone, but we'd hate for anyone to feel uncomfortable in just being themselves. If that's ever the case and you're interested in talking about it, please don't hesitate to email alli@hudl.com.
