Pros

Pay is acceptable, benefits are okay. Occasionally you will come across a brilliant individual that is new or was acquired recently and have the opportunity to learn a lot from them.

Cons

No culture. Terrible, uninspired, clueless leadership. Upper management doesn't like people with new ideas. No individual empowerment. Process. Process. Process.

Good products, but unefficient, over process oriented, and difficult to get things done

Business Outlook

Pros

ACI has good products and a strong list of global clientele in the financial services and payments space. The compensation and benefits are good. The people are generally very smart.

Cons

However, the company is it's own worse enemy. There is too much process and hoops to jump through to get things done. The company constantly re-organizes to try to fix things, but all that does is creates even more confusion and delays to get things done. Many times, they are trying the same things that didn't work before, as if they are some new idea that is some how going to work this time, but of course does not. Some of the smartest people have left the company, since they get burnt out or frustrated. Need to hire more people, instead of running thin. Training is terrible or non-existent.
