Accruent Reviews

Pros

This place is awesome. It is full of a lot of promising talent, hard working teams and almost no politics. Everyone is focused on open, honest discussion of issues and productive resolution. There is no "that's not my job" mentality, no hoarding of information and no silo building. Results are everything and if you produce, they just throw more and more responsibility at you. There is an incredible amount of trust placed into your hands and you either suceed or fail.

They do let people go, if they do not produce or are not a good fit-harsh at first perhaps, but it builds a better team in the long run. They expect and judge based upon results. Additionally, hey screen extensively befor ehiring-thus you work with VERY smart people everyday-it makes a big difference.

The executive team is enthusiastic, energetic, even delightfully aggressive, in pursuit of the best possible results and in driving the team goals before the individual ego. Due to being embedded in the Vista portfolio, there is a great deal of potential to gain more responsibility and transition to sister companies, thus no concerns about a dead end job.

If you are enthusiastic, team oriented, hungry for responsibility, driven to suceed, hard working, and crave ownership and accountability for your work, you will fit in well.

If you like politics, think it isnt "your job", and lead by "brokering favors", you likely want to look elsewhere as you would be a poor fit.

Cons

You work hard and you have to set aside your own ego at times and really be devoted to what is best for the team.

Advice to Senior Management

You guys are rockstars! (Okay, so maybe slightly geeky It rockstars!)

Keep up the good work!

Pros

the company is really trying to grow, using some experienced mgmt and some under tutelege of more senior execs & owners
company has realized older software apps are ready for the trash and has recently purchased companies with apps to replace them
new employee training is available
frequent happy hours run by employees
good place for a very junior person to get started in tech industry

Cons

customers deployed with older apps trying to upgrade will face a huge effort & cost to do so
mgmt seems to misunderstand or to downplay the ugliness being experience by these customers
due to dramatic layoffs not much knowledge exists for older apps & even less documentation
workloads are excessive while bonuses are decreasing
sr leadership team is not inspiring

Advice to Senior Management

have you realized & admitted the current state of the products & company internal relationships?

Pros

Fast growing, new company with potential.

Cons

Sometimes the work gets a little overwhelming.

Advice to Senior Management

Be honest with position candidates.

Pros

Its a company that promotes a positive work environment. The workplace is a mix of youthful energy and experience. I believe the company as a whole is going in a positive direction as they invest in talent and reward those that perform.

Cons

Sometimes change happens slower than one might like. Also not sure why someone might not care for the "world class" theme. I guess it could sound somewhat corny, but the the intention does seem sincere.

Advice to Senior Management

Keeping everyone informed of the direction is key.

Pros

Professional Development
Great People
Growing Company

Our company was acquired by Accruent this year. Overall good experience. Initially challenging adapting to all the change, etc. but post transition, it has been positive. Have been treated very well and provided infastructure and growth opportunites not available previously. If you're willing to work hard and align with company vision, you will be successful.

Cons

Resources can be tight - but agressively hiring to solve

Pros

Solid leadership in the company, seems there's a willingness to give an ear when asked. Most of the employees are young (20s-30s), which creates an energetic vibe, casual-professional "young software company" atmosphere. Happy hours every other week on-site help everyone get to know each other. Feels secure to be private-equity backed and growing, esp in the current economy, AND great to work with people you like.

Cons

Not sure why someone would insult the "world class" theme, seems like a good thing to have high standards for the employees and the company as a whole. Maybe because we've been making acquisitions/growing, the organizational structure is getting reworked, so things change quickly, but in my experience you have to roll with the punches wherever you go.

Advice to Senior Management

Do more team-only activities to increase cohesiveness in each department.

Pros

It's a good small company to work for. If you work hard they will treat you with respect.

Cons

some management doesn't know the business too well, so they are unable to hold people accountable until it's too late.

Advice to Senior Management

Leadership must demonstrate honesty, even if you have to deliver the bad news.

Pros

Great place for talented students right out of college.

Cons

Too many broken promises and double standards. "World-Class" is a common buzzword in the company, but many areas clearly do not measure up to "World-Class". Promises of industry training with no action toward this.

Advice to Senior Management

Don't make a promise that can't be kept.

Pros

Not a bad place to work.

Cons

Moving operations out of state.

Advice to Senior Management

None
