Pros

Some really nice people who are not management.

Cons

Accela had a great way of creating a negative work culture. People constantly walked around in fear of being laid off. They lay off workers left and right, it's almost comical. The executive team took a trip to Italy, and while they were out they had their flunkies lay off a group of people. Way to create a nice work culture guys. Let's all go to Italy and spoil ourselves and then can about 30 people while we are away...no harm no foul, right? The software seemed to be literally held together with bandaids. At the time, it only worked on a PC and in IE. Come on guys, what is this...1999? I'm surprised it didn't just work with Netscape. If you're reading this and thinking about joining, do some research on LinkedIn and reach out to former employees and ask what they really thought about working at this place.

Pros

CEO is good person, but he hired wrong management for engineering department

Cons

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.
