Acronis Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Acronis full-time for less than a year

Pros – Once had a good product

Cons – Technology is lagging; invested in top managmenet and not is developers or technology. Poor leadership, rampant turnoever at all levels; management is overpaid while middle and lower level people are under paid. Toxic, predatory environment.

Advice to Senior Management – Go home - you don't know what you are doing and you have sunk this company.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Acronis

Pros – I can't think of any. It has been a roller coaster since I started. So many different managers, and a lay off when they say they want to grow.

Cons – * Management doesn't listen
* Management doesn't communicate changes that are made
* Management talks down to their employees. They say "my business" when it's actually "our business" we are all trying to reach a number.
* turnover is at an all time high. I've seen three general managers over the course of 2 years.
* They are bringing in several people from other countries to "manage" but they don't understand how business in the US works.
* When people leave the refuse to pay their vacation time.
* HR won't respond when there are issues. And when you need an immediate response they blow you off.
* Very shady business practices. Discounting for one not for another. Accounts stolen by other account managers. Management has no control over their business.
* lots of pressure from upper management to commit to a number without having the data or resources to figure out the data.
* They have hired several new "leaders" that don't understand the business. They don't understand how things work and they don't give effective training.
* The latest version of the product has not worked for several customers and the refuse to do any RMAs for these issues.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to the people on the floor - we're the ones that know what's going on in the field.

Former Employee – worked at Acronis

Pros – Worked with some talented likeable coworkers. Company's software products pretty good, some won awards. Free snacks & beverages, and lunches catered sometimes

Cons – Really inept executive team, many in titles and roles far beyond their training and experience - their in way over their heads and it showed daily. Ineffective absentee CEO. No clear strategy, goals, roles, review process and poor mgmt communication. Culture of secrecy; place founded by Russians and many decisions still made in Moscow by founders & their cronys or behind closed doors by exec team. Awful , depressing work environment, lots of demands but little support – senior mgmt quick to blame others but never take reponsibilty for how their own actions (or inaction) and bad decisions effect entire org. Mgmt shows no desire to develop or keep employees, people viewed as easily replaced. Thus limited possiblity for career growth or financial gain, esp. for sales since products sold mainly thru partners. Benefits suck compared 2 other co.’s (lower pay, no 401K match, less vacation days, etc.). Morale very low. Wish I left a lot sooner than I did, much happier now.

Advice to Senior Management – Recognize your own limitations and hire people into roles that match their skills and experience. Trust people with relevent expertise to do their jobs and get out of their way.

Current Employee – been working at Acronis

Pros – Free food, good people who are really trying

Cons – CEO and management who just say "yes" to whatever the CEO wants
Purely numbers driven company - doesn't matter how many "bodies" are left in the wake of hitting the number
Incompetent head of WW Sales

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to the people who have been hired to do their jobs. They have more depth in their field than anyone in managment. No one person has all the answers

Current Employee – been working at Acronis

Pros – Good colleagues/free snack/soda-perks of a small company

Cons – Acronis is a joke of a place to work for. Senior management has no clue what they are doing and they continue to promote people within management or hire management that have no clue what they are doing. Employees are not valued at all, no reviews so no raises and the attitude is that everyone is replaceable. Everyone I knew was and is miserable and most of the employees are looking for a new job (no big shocker here.)

HR is to laugh at and cannot be trusted (there is no employee/employer confidentiality there).
There is no work/life balance there as they expect you to be available at any time and work late. It's all about making the sales # there, Marketing management is nonexistence and they frankly have no clue what they are doing!

I would not recommend anyone to work there-not even my own worst enemy!

Advice to Senior Management – Hire veterns in the industry that actually know how to run a company and get rid of existing management.

Former Employee – worked at Acronis

Pros – same level coworkers are fantastic - some amazing people.

Cons – management is poor. very poor. unprofessional. company-wide distributions fraught with spelling/grammar errors. low level expectation. cannot pull in better people because better people can likely sense they won't be challenged/appreciated. also almost weekly reports of internal theft from headsets to water bottles. no review process so raises nonexistant.
