Acuity Reviews

Pros

I have worked at Acuity since it was Heritage Insurance, so for 22 years!!! Acuity truly cares about it's employees!!! They have amazing benefits, salaries are comparable to other companies and just keep surprising their employees every year with more and more things! I don't know too many employees who actually LOOK FORWARD to go into the office, like the Acuity employees! There's a rock wall and of course, the Firm! Also, happy hours every other Thursday, but then came COVID! :-( Yet, Acuity still blesses us with other things since we aren't able to go into the office!!! Gift cards to Amazon, a holiday meal, Acuity merchandise.....Acuity is just AMAZING!!!! ACUITY ROCKS!!!!

Cons

No cons to Acuity at all!!!!

Pros

The technology used was good.

Cons

They changed their contractual offer with me multiple times. They brought my pay grade down many times and their excuse was "it's either this, or we have to lay you off". I had no choice but to sign again so I could continue feeding my family. I am very happy since I have left.

Pros

Good, personable people. Competitive salary and benefits. Awesome work life balance. Open door policy with anyone. Acuity professionals form longstanding relationships and are trusted by their clients. Meaningful missions with interesting IT work and innovative technologies.

Cons

Can experience different cultures between field vs. HQ. Acuity has a promising future but is currently in their awkward, mid-tier teenage growing years.

Pros

Friendly and nice CEO. Cool holiday party

Cons

The Business Development/Capture/Proposal departments need change. People always talk process, but no process has been set in stone as people always find a way around it. Too much drama and very unprofessional environment. You have to "fake it till you make it" in order to be somewhat successful here. Some individuals will step on others toes just to get the job done instead of working collaboratively and encouraging team work. No support from senior leadership as it is difficult to encourage new innovative ways to be successful. There is no strategy and leadership does not see the value in proper business development and capture management. Leadership would go after every RFP that drops, without even any proper preparation, which is a waste of B&P and resources. It was unfortunate that I thought I had a manager who I could trust, see as a mentor, and help me be successful within the company. Instead, this individual would talk badly about myself to other colleagues, and make false accusations and stories to make themselves look good.

Pros

Great leadership who cares about the company. The company is involved in meaningful work that is making a difference with National Security. The management t team is dedicated to make the environment a great place to work.

Cons

With any growing company you are going to experience growing pains from time to time. However, the management t team is dedicated to continually improve its processes.
