Pros

At Acuity you'll find constant change (pro for some people), The ability to work from home on Fridays, and no dress code.

Cons

Become the epitome of overworked and underpaid! This company will entice you with their "Google" copy cat practices in a pitiful effort to build a better reputation for themselves. Prepare to be on the bottom of a totem pole ruled by an unnecessary multitude of Directors & VPs ready to trickle down all of their problems to you. If that doesn't have you begging for a job with Acuity, just think of all the confidence gained from all the contradicting feedback you'll receive from all 5 of your business partners! Please - I read the Glassdoor reviews and thought, "no, I'm different. I'm a very hard worker and will prove myself." I repeat, don't fall into the trap. You're not special. Turnover is so high for a reason.

Pros

Fully remote, collaboration is excellent with Sales and Engineering teams. Nice people.

Cons

Onboarding was awful. Tend to turnover people frequently, always around April and October, which coincides with their fiscal year. HR people are never the same for very long. Medical benefits are ok. Questionable ethics in the Legal & Compliance Dept of all places. It's evidenced with all the legal counsel they have hired, there are more of them than there are customer service people it seems. It pays the bills, but it's not a job one should count on for long term. It seems the strategy is hire with high pay, but let go within a year. Seen it happen to many people.
