Pros

Most of the employees that work here are nice, although for some reason a majority are really dry, boring people. I guess free drinks are nice, but the food is pretty lacking in comparison to the other tech companies I've worked at.

Cons

Laughably low compensation. The funny thing is that even though they are trying to raise salaries, the "new" increased salary is still well below what you should be making anywhere else. Too many meetings and corporate policies. Very very old tech stack that scares off talented developers (guess what, in 2015 even Rails is old!). Everyone gets a Lenovo! (gross lol). If anyone ever says that Accruent has a start-up feel, they have most definitely never worked at a real start-up. No one really wants to be at Accruent, and you can tell.

Thanks for your feedback. If caring about our company, thanking people for feedback, being transparent, agreeing with constructive feedback, sharing plans, correcting facts, and encouraging dialogue regarding how to make our company great is "desperate", then I am guilty as charged. Wishing you all the best in your new role/company and hope that you find the happiness you seek. 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.
