Accela, Inc. Sr. Software Engineer reviews

Looks like they are winding-up the company, at least San Ramon office. They don't have CEO. The current one is temporary, he might move out as well. All the management is new and mediocre. Imagine case where a mediocre person given top position where he can control engineers, pathetic. I am still wondering how they end up here. All the real engineers already left. Don't join this company even if they pay you good. I believe they are running out of money, because they get this cheap resources from a cheap Indian outsourcing company. They are setting up new office in Ireland, don't even join that group. Pretty soon they going to close that too.

Little-to-no investment in product, under-staffed leading to poor support for customers, little-to-no agency as an individual contributor, middle management incompetent/unempowered, C-levels have deaf ears and make false promises. My impression of senior leadership was that of shameless ladder-climbers: they understand the industry enough to talk a good game but will leave before projects results are apparent, claiming credit or deflect failure while advancing to the next rung. Finally, many of the five star reviews are either very low on specifics or are from employees with scant tenure; my inner cynic finds these dubious.
