Accruent reviews

Accruent acquires Software Firms, divests of as many expenses (e.g. software development) as possible so that they can milk annual client software subscriptions at higher margins until clients finally notice that the software hasn't changed since the acquisition. Accruent's software solutions are all old out-of-date applications and veritable islands of data that do not communicate with each other. Accruent can't keep a VP of Software development long enough to accomplish anything as they leave within a year of taking the job due to a lack of project budgets. I worked for Accruent for 18 months post acquisition. I ended up in a great spot and I'm so happy that I left.

The execs are using a lot of fancy words; Meritocracy, Talent Strategy, Value Fit, World Class etc. But they do not have a clue how to achieve it. Instead of hiring and keeping experienced people that can help us, the "old guard"; people that has been "surfing a wave" of acquisitions (funded by debt) are feeling threatened and do all they can to push good people out. We are stuck with clueless and scared execs in Services who care more about keeping their paychecks than building the team. Everyday I hear execs badmouthing other departments and talk disparaging about their employees. And, the problem with keeping up the hiring is not because of the growth. (There is almost no organic growth.) It is because people are leaving faster that we can fill the holes. Not where you want to be.
