Accruent

Accruent is great if you take it as a starting place. Lots of experience to be gained due to the large amount of products and high need to technical adaptation. Open PTO is pretty good depending on management. Work/life balance is solid, bar for a few very long days or weekends.

However, Salary is not market value and management is not always the most transparent when it comes to achieving a higher salary opportunities, if any are even really possible. Numerous times I had management try to dissuade the idea of getting higher payment even after being there for more than a year. Management doesn't really do much to try to keep longer term employees happy for their tenure and thus causes a drop in morale. Often times other employees would quit and management would do little to fill in the position, simply causing more work to be put upon the rest of the team. Even times when there was a skeleton crew management did little to try to fill in positions. 

The worst part I would say is communication. Often times I felt like I couldn't trust my manager if they were given the choice between doing the right and fair thing, versus getting doing something that would make them seem better to higher execs. Other times there were various moments of unprofessionalism displayed, such as favoritism and bias toward certain other employees or immature behavior in team building activities.

Engineering especially is in a strange spot. Various times I saw the company prefer to user contractors instead of hiring local employees, so this calls into question the job security of such a job. Even one incident where a team was suddenly laid off without given a warning.

Having been at the company for 5+ years, and seeing it grow from less than 100 to over 1000 employees during my time has been exciting. Growing through acquisitions provides ample opportunity for career advancement and new challenges, especially if directly involved in acquisition dealings. The people at Accruent are great, and are what have kept me there for so long. Pay at Accruent is less than desired, and is no secret if you do your research. Given the size of the company, this problem can't continue - The company needs to step up and start paying more if it wishes to retain talent and be successful. Product direction needs more inclusion of customer feedback - both for bugs and product suggestions. Investments for internal tools that are needed for the size the company has grown to be, as well as investment in people growth is not prioritized and is noticed. All that said, I'm still a fan of the overall culture and have created not just working relationships but personal friendships with my peers, which I value deeply. I've gained the vast majority of my professional experience at a company that took a chance on a low experience recent college graduate who was looking to move to Austin, and I'm grateful for all the opportunities I've been provided.

Accruent is a great company to start your career at. They have a great "family like" culture, and you can find a lot of friends here.

HQ is in Austin, and a lot of the other offices around the world can feel a little disconnected. The leadership team understands that, and is trying to make everyone feel a part of the family.

Pay isn't the best, and they will say that when you step in the door. The opportunity for advancement is there in a lot of departments, sometimes you just have to make it known what you want to do with your career.

If you join the company and end up feeling unhappy in your role after 6-12 months, you can start the process of changing departments if there is an opening, and you've been a high performer in your job. If you're a culture fit, they'll want to keep you around at the company.

Ask questions, seek a mentor, do a good job, and make it known what you want to do, and you can probably do it at Accruent.

Accruent is a modern company with a great culture that encourages friendliness and collaboration. The benefits and the work-life balance were exceptional.

Unfortunately, Accruent is shockingly uninnovative for a software company. Their products are outdated and overpriced, which creates additional stress and difficulty for anyone in the Sales Organization. Sales members are not given the tools they need to win, and this results in poor financial performance and frequent layoffs.

I do not recommend Accruent to anyone who wants to win or innovate, but it will be a very comfortable job for anyone looking for a more operational or administrative role.

Accruent has open PTO, lots of activities to meet up with other employees and free snacks and drinks. Benefits are generally good across the board. 

That being said, in the year that I have been in the company, I've had 3 changes in manager, 3 reporting/organization changes, and the enter C team has turned over, including new investors. All of the turnover and change has led to inconsistent marketing and messaging and unclear goals and opportunities. The company has changed its focus from year to year so you never know what the company actually does. 

The company is more focused on acquiring the next best software than developing and investing in the software it already has.

You can feel a negative outlook looming over the company, constant re-organizations in 3 years, new CTOs/VP leadership every year, employee attrition is at an all time high while still expecting the workloads to be handled. Every single product'ssoftware development cycle and deployment is broken. There is no clear roadmap for the future of the products, focus on which ones are considered growth changes every few months, you can't develop a roadmap for the company if every few months top leadership leaves or is fired, staff are underpaid below market value. Accruent has very complicated problems to solve, while they only hire inexperienced staff for lower pay.

This company is for young, inexperienced talent looking to get started. Once you learn something, it will be difficult to advance after one level up. This is a typical "meritocracy" model that ends up leaning more heavily on likeability than actual talent/skills. Reviews are more about personal perception than actual results. However, while you're getting started and making less than market rate, you'll have great coworkers in a relaxed environment with decent work-life balance, so there are many opportunities to be social and build friendships.

I started at Accruent in 2013, it used to be a great company back then but it has since changed. The biggest problem is that they don't have any good products and yet they act like they're the market leader. The company is also not growing organically--they just buy high growth companies and tack on the revenue. Great strategy for the PE firm who owns Accruent but not for the employees. 

I'd look elsewhere for a job. There are a lot of other companies that have better opportunities in Austin and are actually growing organically.

The company has the best intentions about their culture and are creating an environment that promotes career growth.  They struggle with creating an environment that represents the Austin area demographics though.   

This is a great company to grow your career but they need to work on  the retention of their talented employees by focusing on their management teams and how they interact with their team members both collectively and individually.

Just dont go there. There isn't much to be gained. They really ended up showing a lot of favoritism for certain employees and others got swept aside. They have absolutely no competitive pay and when employees do get raises its because they are key components to some aspect and they cant lose them. All the good managers leave and all the good employees leave. They treat people very poorly overall and thats because the highest management left and we were left with people who didn't respect employees.
