Pros

If you want to work for an IT-company but do not have a science degree this is the place for you. Accruent's Talent Strategy is to hire what they call HIPLEs (Hi Potential Low Experience) people. They are not paying to market, but you get a job.

Cons

You will find it hard to really learn anything that you can use outside the company. Most experienced people leave within 12 months. There is a lot of talk about "values". The only "value" that counts here though, is the value of the mighty dollar. Respect and honesty is secondary to squeezing out the last dollar from the customers and saving on employee benefits.

Thanks for providing us feedback. We've clearly not been communicating effectively to you and a few other reviewers with similar feedback. I encourage you to come see me or someone you trust in the company to get more detail on our plans and strategies. In fact, I am conducting meetings all this month to review the latest progress and plans. Please attend one of those sessions if you can. Note - we've significantly increased, not decreased, benefits and salaries. Best, Wayne Roberts Chief Operating Officer

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.
