Pros

-If you don't have as much experience as you'd like in your given field, Accel is a great company to work for. They are great about letting you learn new skills -The people are the greatest asset. Everyone works hard and (most of) your co-workers would drop anything to help you -Swag. They do a great job of always providing shirts, hoodies, etc to make you feel like a valued member of the team. -Benefits have improved recently -Recently bought out and went public, which I have faith will fix the leadership issues.

Cons

-Turnover in every department. HR itself has turned over multiple times alone that it gives you a sense that the company will never have it together. In fact, it was a running joke if you didn't get a response from HR that "they probably all got fired again." -Once you get experience, you'll need to leave and work elsewhere to get the compensation you deserve. Pay raises are a joke and multiple people left after either getting no raise or a 1% raise. (BDM's are making hand over fist and will gladly tell you about their commission checks to make you feel even worse about your crap raise.) -0 diversity in leadership - specifically diversity in thinking. They are very proud that most of their hires come from referrals, but everyone thinks exactly the same (and looks the same, but that's another story) -Favoritism is well-known and widely accepted - especially among the different regions -Bigotry and misogyny is the norm. The company really needs to focus on D&I.
