Accela, Inc. reviews

What it turns out that company is in negative cash flow now because of irrational spending. All nine acquisition turned out to be failure. Bringing development from China to USA become a major expenditure from them. They started laying off people every six months to compensate the loss. Now , this company can not go to IPO in current state(negative cash flow). Lost all development team in China , therefore, can not enhance the product. They are basically in limbo state. They can not improve the product because of its inherent complexity and old technology. So please do not join this company because of "Good place to work". These are marketing gimmicks this company is playing. They hire few top notch management people. They are covering the reality and showing good face to you and other companies. Beware -- do not fall into these traps.

- Corrosive culture - starting from the top. - Very weak senior leadership. Old timers who are close to each other still in top. Many of them poorly qualified, missing skillsets and no experience in managing larger groups of people. Some aren't even technology literate but are masters of spin. - Lack of professionalism, blame always goes down the ladder, but issues keep occurring. - Earlier this year Accela fired 30 staff without a days notice, while friends of senior leadership were on a 'retreat' in Italy. If you think of joining Accela - be extra diligent in your homework. There are a litany of ex Accela employees out there who would support all of these statements - try to find some and talk to them.
