Pros

- Strong growth prospects / expectations. - Road map has exciting improvements in the future (planned). - Some good new staff come on board recently, but they usually don't last long. - Trying to start offer better perks for office workers

Cons

- 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.
