Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Acumen full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Young, casual culture. Hire a lot of people right outside college
Cons
Managers are all promoted from within which is great for opportunity within the company, but terrible since a lot of them don't know what they're doing and can't leverage outside experience Hours are ridiculous for the low pay The good employees end up just getting all of the work and are eventually just burned out and they leave Toxic work environment. No trust at all CEO doesn't really seem to care. I was there for 3 Christmas parties and he attended 0 of them (at least I didn't see him or hear from him)

I have been working at Acumen full-time for less than a year
Pros
-opportunities to learn -friendly team -my manager was really great and really valued my growth and learning
Cons
-not a lot of great employer benefits -opportunities of growth really depends on the team you're in and your manager -not great work/life balance for poor pay and benefits -culture is team dependent so you can definitely have a good culture if you're in the right team; i was definitely lucky in terms of my team's culture
