Pros

There isn't a pro to working at Accruent. Senior and Mid Management treat the rank and file employees like abused children. Throwing each other under the bus, often to conceal one's own incompetence, is the unquestioned top Company Value. All of the other stated company values are but a punch-line to a bad joke. Name the functional department and one can name the incompetent Senior Executive who runs it. Even at all-hands meetings, the seating for the E-Team is RESERVED. It's truly a joke.

Cons

The con is being trapped at Accruent while trying to find another job. Even if one manages to come out from under the mountain of extra hours they force you to work, God help you if they find out you're not happy. The E-Team is a band of misfits who only got their job because they became favorites of the President. I even heard a story of an $14,000 gift he bought for another E-Team member who barely shows up to work. Everyone knows about it. If you don't already know, just ask for it is common knowledge. The point is competence is not the currency being traded at Accruent, but, rather, the nature of a relationship one has with the President of the Company. The lying is the greatest drawback. Everyone does it. In fact, most of the reviews posted on Glassdoor is the handy work of the Marketing Department. One can even argue credibly that the award the President received from Glassdoor was the product of a misinformation campaign carried out by Marketing.

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.
