Pros

There is nothing good to write about Accruent as an employer or a software provider. Employees and Clients are low on Accruent's list of priorities. Accruent management is possessed by financial formulas that put clients and employees last in the order of importance.

Cons

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 Accruent's software solutions are all old out-of-date applications and veritable islands of data that do not communicate with each other.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.

Pros

Lots of potential across their portfolio. Standard benefits. OK work/life balance (if you're remote). Very interested in creating a culture of improvement - but not necessarily innovation like you'd expect at a software company (See Cons).

Cons

Parent company is way too involved and tries to run this software company like a hardware company (which is most of their portfolio). Aging tech and design of their product portfolio. There was a very toxic political culture when I was there, but that may have changed. Lots of brain drain over the past few years of their most experience leaders and software engineers. No equity (except for some "high potential" hires and some VPs and above... which creates rifts between the haves, the have nots and management - it's common that a high demand new hire gets equity like AI engineers and data scientists, but their manager does not have equity and has to be able to answer questions about their equity as part of their comp.
