Pros

Looking back, having some perspective, it was not many pros there except that I met some nice people there.

Cons

After 2 years I finally realized that there was "mostly talk and no walk" at Accruent. The executives did not listen, they already knew everything. If someone spoke up or made a suggestion for improvement, the standard answer was "yes we know that and we are working on it" or "you are misinformed, please engage so you get a better understanding". They claimed an "open door" policy. But if you used it to speak up, you were tagged as a "poor value fit" and out of the company you went. Only "yes men" stayed there for long. A new change initiative was rolled out top-down every month or so, they all died as fast as they came. The executives were never smart enough to realize that what they came up with behind closed doors without involving the people and get them engaged.

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.
