Axcient Reviews

Pros

- Great people to work with - the products actually work!! - fast paced environment - work life balance (every other Friday off, company wide) - overall good company

Cons

- compensation is slightly under average, but overall worth it with all the other benefits

Pros

Decent benefits Flexible schedule Great Core Values

Cons

As a technology & security company you would imagine the company would have a more progressive way to resolve issues and more qualified management. They do take a chance on people, but often do not reward and follow through with promises made to employees in a timely manner. There is high turnover rate in many departments, lack of communication and you should expect restructuring with each New Leadership Team that comes in. There is not a set level/pay scale or consistent evaluation for performance reviews and salary increases. You never have Human Resources involved as mediators in conversations to know the lines that managers or co-workers cross. There is a lack of professionalism, which can be difficult if that’s not the environment you are used to or expecting. Expectations are not equal among all employees and departments. There are too many managers within this small company. In some departments there is 1 manager for 4 or less people. You can expect to see a considerable amount of favoritism based on your ability to complain/talk over people and not the quantity/quality of your work.

Pros

Good team atmosphere and good people

Cons

Sudden layoffs happen quite frequently

Pros

Helpful, smart team Compelling mission

Cons

Like many growing tech companies, they could have more rigor around process and systems.

Pros

- Will take a chance on folks with limited experience but a willingness to work - Good personal connections between colleagues - Kind employees - Fantastic stepping stone

Cons

- Some legacy tech internally/externally - Turnover can be problematic - PE owners have probably found the point of diminishing returns on their ROI. Content to let the company run as it has, but don't expect any real change aside from the revolving door of leadership.

Pros

Nothing to report here honestly

Cons

Terrible management, terrible salary and terrible functions

Pros

There has never been a better time to join Axcient than 2022! The products are based on cutting edge tech, leadership seems to be listening and steering the ship in the right direction, and no jerks on the teams! This is a real review, no one asked me to do this. Just love my job... Pros: -set up to succeed with remote talent -experienced leadership -top pay and attainable bonus goals -a ton of transparency -real, honest to goodness team work and cross functional support - getting the disparate products branded, streamlined and straight -product just works -innovating and not relying on tired legacy tech -respectful dialog between coworkers -every other Friday off and unlimited PTO -man, there are smart people at this company

Cons

-remotely getting to know people requires comfort with teleconferencing, it is tough sometimes although many folks are pretty responsive on Slack -you gotta be proactive. This ain't the place for people to sit around and wait for someone to dictate how you should fill your time -could really use some uniformity in the tools used. Especially for communication and project management and visibility

Pros

Good compensation, great work environment

Cons

High employee turnover in certain departments

Pros

I have been with Axcient for a year and can easily say that stepping away from a prior Fortune 500 company to work for this MSP-centered backup solution company has been one of the best decisions I have made career wise. Allow me to provide a few pros as to why I love working for Axcient: - Fast-paced environment has allowed me to strengthen my abilities to adapt and change to new processes - One's success and showcase of drive is recognized both financially as well as by outreach from Senior Leadership members. - Micro-managing is a thing of the past at Axcient. You have the ability to be much more independent on how you spend your day-to-day allowing your success to be highly dependent on your on personal desire for growth and success. - Your work is actually reflected in the success of the company making you feel less like a "cog in a machine" and more as an integral member of a passionate team that is all looking to see the company succeed. - Easy access to Senior Leadership is a huge plus. Along with a great work culture and like-minded co-workers. - Unlimited PTO and great benefits

Cons

- The only con I can think of is that this company is consistently evolving and change is practically inevitable. However, these changes are done to better the company and with a strong initiative to take a significant share of DR solutions in the backup marketplace.

Pros

Every person is valued deeply and sincerely here, they help you succeed professionally and personally

Cons

Plenty of legacy technology that's a (sometimes welcome) challenge to modernize
