Acuity Inc. reviews

The reviews that are positive should be taken with this perspective. It looks like Sr mgt took notice that the avg rating was low and sent an edict out to get some good reviews from current employees to raise the avg. Here’s how you can tell if they have been forced written or suggested by their manager. They are very short. Most are one sentence reviews and even then, some of them have valid cons. If you have a true experience, why would you rate a company you like with only one sentence???? This is a toxic environment. Stay away if you can. The following was taken from a news article describing a Toxic environment: Your Boss Never Delivers on Their Promises, You Aren’t Getting Feedback on Your Performance, You Don’t Have Any Say in How Your Job Should Be Done, Disrespectful Behavior Is Tolerated, The Higher-Ups Aren’t Truthful, There’s High Employee Turnover, Your Co-Workers Are Visibly Unhappy, HR Isn’t Addressing Issues with the Work Environment, Communication Is Lacking or Disjointed, Management Shows Blatant Favoritism. My experience there had a glaring 8 of 10 of these reasons Top grading, nepotism. NO career paths. HR is viewed as the Gestapo. This is a Bro atmosphere where cliques take care of each other. The Controls management is in shambles. Every time there is an acquisition the new acquisition gets a preferred seat at the table and bring in the people they want to protect and promote. That shakes things up and creates an unstable work environment for the ones who have been there and made the business successful. To sum this up I would say this place is morally bankrupt.

Senior management is more concerned about it's stock price than anything else - including it's employees and creating quality products. If they don't meet analyst expectations, it's time for a layoff and a reorganization - because it has to be a people problem and not a cultural one, right? They pretend to want to be a technology company while clinging tightly to the manufacturing mindset and sticking to antiquated and overly bureaucratic processes. They also keep buying their way into spaces and technologies through acquisitions, then try to pound them into our systems or just letting the company do their own thing and add more VPs. In software development, work is often repeated by different groups with no real overall strategy or oversight. The senior management/VPs are so busy trying to be first to market, they promote ignoring proper development practices including quality checks to meet ridiculous deadlines. Finally, their employee review process is paltry as well - good luck getting paid fair market value as your experience grows or getting promoted when you deserve it. Even if you put in the extra time and went the extra mile, expect HR to only allow a "meets expectation" like an average coworker gets as well.
