Failed Opportunity, Failed Leadership. Run

Pros

Some good delivery staff left. Not many though. Great space to be in. Benefits were pretty good.

Cons

Well, after giving their new C levels million dollar bonuses while ignoring their hard working staff, the new millionaire CEO is out the door. Which millionaire is next? It's a sad state of affairs. The software was built in China and but the now former CEO ended that contract. They're now looking in Ireland. Why? Because they try and compete with the big boys in San Francisco but simply can't. Innovation is pushed aside every day at this company. The best people have left. This is a zombie company at this point. The technology is over a decade old, and still uses silverlight! Honestly, there is no consideration for innovation here. It takes YEARS to get anywhere and then they take credit for your work and recycle it, without giving you credit.

Pros

Food brought twice a week. Lots of snacks in the kitchen. Fun committee is very active and hold a number of events throughout the year. Nicely located in Bishop Ranch , San Ramon, CA.

Cons

No direction and extremely poor communication by management. Lots of work. As we buy more companies the workload continues to increase. Lots of turnover, resulting in a tremendous amount of work for those remaining. A large number of employees are looking to leave Accela.

It once was a vibrant place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly coworkers, nice kitchen/break area

Cons

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.
