Acquity Group reviews

No Training Opps No 401k match Expensive Health Insurance

They claim to be a "creative agency" and have opened up offices in NYC and on the West Coast (LA, SF and Seattle). They are absolutely NOT a creative place to work. Acquity promotes itself as some hip trendy savvy company. The actual working environment is very far from that. This is simply a MidWestern tech company with all of the backwards thinking that goes with it. There is a high turnover rate and they do not care about their employees. The atmosphere is TOXIC. Company have actually promoted and praised managers that have made people quit! Complete and utter lack of concern for clients. Everything is about billable hours even if the work is marginal. All they care about is money. They even belittle clients in meetings and around the office. They got written up as a top agency in Forrester because, surprise, they have a relationship with them. They get work because there is such a high demand for Internet Technology services these days that anyone with some talent (and a few good developers) around can be successful these days. So find another company to work for or work with. Here's a funny annecdote. The company solicited their employees on Facebook to write up feedback on why Acquity was a great place to work (to encourage new hires). Out of some 500+ (300+ likes) employees, only 4 gave a response. Hardly an enthusiastic reception.
