Pros

- Good pay - Good company culture (fun outings from time to time - movies, bowling, etc) - Lots of good/talented people work for AccessData. - The technology they're starting to use is cutting edge (Angular2/4, WebPack, Node.js, etc). - There's opportunities as a developer to work on a pretty decent diversity of work and technologies (front end, back end, database, etc).

Cons

- Benefits are bad, and will get worse in 2018 when they get rid of their PPO plan and only offer HSA plans. - The owner of the company, Tim, is NOT a developer, but he thinks he is. He insists on writing garbage code and forcing it into source control, and forcing it onto the customers (which is going to cause AccessData to lose customers and brand equity). Anyone who stands up to him (i.e. the CEO, the CIO, etc) gets fired, or demoted. NOT good! And this is NOT the first time he's done it. He did it several years ago and nearly destroyed the company. They kicked Tim out, and almost made a full recovery before he came back and started doing the same garbage again. - The current CEO, Victor, is a coward "yes man" who is going along with Tim and all of his horrible ideas for fear of losing his job. He is worthless! - The board of directors are spineless. They all complain about this guy, the garbage code he's writing, and the direction he's going (i.e. tanking the company), but none of them will stand up to him, or stop him.

Having only been with the company a brief time, your perspective on our organization, our story and progress over the past 30 years is a bit short-sighted. Hopefully, you'll look in from time to time, as we have an exciting future ahead.

Thank you for addressing your concerns and I hope that you have reached out to your direct manager to discuss as well. Whenever there is frustration such as what you are feeling, talking with your manager or a higher level manager is always recommended. We always post our open positions through our career site, and do in fact promote our employees whenever there is opportunity.

Pros

AccessData genuinely cares about their customers and their employees. I was new to the forensic world so there was a learning curve for me, but Co-workers and managers have been helpful with product questions. Quarterly Business Reviews to help with market trends and product refresher discussions have been helpful. My manager is great. I have enjoyed working for all of my manager's here at AD. My manager is more than willing to help with my specific goals and will coach me when needed. The pay is good. I enjoy my co-workers We have fun! Good benefits Good work/life balance

Cons

No matching 401(k) There seemed to be a lot of change at first but that is slowing down a bit now.
