Visas: Beware!

Business Outlook

Pros

Diverse projects Huge impact (federal policy) Very good entry-level job our of school (they train you in SAS well) Flexible schedules My manager and project(s) are both rewarding

Cons

VISA BEWARE: You have to stick with them for three years (and they exploit this by paying you less and working you harder) I (as a US citizen) make more than my visa counterparts and I am not trapped for 3+ years needing Acu-sphere's sponsorship Every team and manager is diverse in how they handle issues, projects, feedback, transparency, and expectations so ask a lot of questions when you get hired! Health benefits are not very good Pay is 20-30% lower than other jobs in the Bay Area (this is a killer, seriously)

Thank you for your review. It looks like you have had a good experience with Acumen! To address the VISA issue - We don't have a time requirement to work for the company after sponsorship and we don't have a compensation delta for sponsored versus non sponsored individuals. Thank you for the feedback on the benefit plans and we will continue to refine those to meet the needs of the organization. We are continuing to review and adjust our compensation policies as we are very aware of the challenges of the Bay Area. Please feel free to reach out to HR anytime. We welcome feedback and any recommendations!
