Acumen reviews

Neither the management nor the HR care about you, insanely low salary, nil respect, expected to work long hours, they prefer hiring their close-knits for advanced positions instead of investing in excellent current staff for promotions. They are finding whatever "reason" to lay off good people to avoid the cost and "justify" themselves.

First, the overall pay is below mediocre especially in Bay area. No perks and lack of the benefits considered to be normal in other similar companies. Second, the work/office environment becomes horrendous in recent years. The overall workforce in this company is young, but some of the relatively-more-experienced hires are being "asked" to leave not in the politest manner, probably they don't want to raise their pay but would instead cite their work performance. This is due to lack of incentives for analysts and the junior managers. Meaningful work is not valued and employees are treated without respect. Third, the hiring bar is becoming lower and lower for most positions. The new hires are of little experience while those just gained some experience are forced away. This puts lots of pressure on the company and project cannot be done like before.
