Pros

If you are straight out of college, there are some interesting opportunities if you are willing to work long hours with below average pay. They have a lot of t-shirt if that is your thing.

Cons

Management is incompetent and don't stay for long. If you are good at your job you are not rewarded but perceived as a threat. This company is all about high potential low experience young people. Years of experience, wisdom from maturity are not valued at all. The stack ranking is demoralizing and made me hate this place. The product roadmap is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. There are too many products, they don't communicate with each other and no one knows what any of them do or which markets they serve. Communication is non-existent. A sales rep was actually selling a product that had been discontinued but no one ever bothered to tell him. At the annual customer conference sales staff can attend but are not allowed to eat with the customers. They are not even given enough per diem to cover meals at the conference hotel. They have to leave the hotel to find a fast food meal they can afford. They make you take a personality test to decide your "color". They talk about culture being the most important factor at Accruent but it is just lip service. The whole experience of working at Accruent was depressing and demoralizing from beginning to end. Oh and forget about ever getting a bonus!

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.
