Caring, supportive company with great people and lots of opportunity to gain valuable work experience/skills
Pros
Out of the 4-5 companies I've worked for, Acadaca is definitely the all around best. I think if I had to choose one word to describe Acadaca it'd be 'flexible'. It's a friendly, almost family-like atmosphere, and the people that work here are down to earth, intelligent, and competent. The work culture is great. And I actually think the work hours are very decent and reasonable, especially for New York. Upper management consists of like 5 people, and they all feel like friends and are very responsive and caring and accessible. I've seen people get promotions pretty quickly (nothing ever feels too stagnant here) and it's made clear we all have the opportunity to move up. But it's not at all a competitive environment. Actually it's the opposite. People are incredibly supportive of one another. Coworkers are very willing to help if you're struggling with something. And if and when the work load gets to be overwhelming, anyone and everyone is willing to jump in and help to take a little weight off your burden. But whether the experience here is good or bad or you fit in with the company culture or you don't, it's hard to argue that this isn't a solid place to have a job. And working here (as a project manager more specifically), provides you with very applicable, varied, and substantial work experience and skills.
Cons
Sometimes it feels like there's simultaneously too much structure and not enough structure. It's a growing company so naturally there are some growing pains as they adjust to find the right balance. Although I do think that Acadaca is doing a good job of handling it.
