Regrettable - Software Engineer Advicent Solutions Employee Review

Pros

Many of the lower echelon employees are skilled and engaged

Cons

The company's software is outdated and confusing. Very few people left at the company even know how the original technology works. The software has been usurped by competitors in the market and leadership is panicking trying to play catchup as they continuously lose "partners". All levels of leadership from direct managers to the c-suite focus more on being nice and being liked rather than taking responsibility and making decisions. Decisions that should take a day take several weeks due to indecisiveness. Software development, design, and product department relationships are a complete mess. Engineers are excluded from key decisions and the entire product development process is top down with little to no input from the engineers who will be building the software. This is exacerbated by the panic and poor leadership as the company continues to lose business. Leadership will encourage you to give 200% but refuses to recognize employee contributions. Instead this is left to peers to call out any accomplishments.

Pros

Advicent was great - all went downhill after they were acquired by Investcloud. Majority of the team left within a few months of the acquisition (taking the great company culture along with them). Had nothing but great things to say about Advicent... Investcloud is a different story entirely.

Cons

Lack of transparency, mainly surrounding the Covid-era layoffs. To be honest, this is fairly on-par with other Covid layoffs but was one of the only cons I could think of.

Pros

- Great people to work with. They're mostly very intelligent, fun, and willing to help you if have any issues. It may be just me but I have not seen any kind of politics being played that would reduce focus on the job. - Culture is fun and inviting. There are a lot of events and collaboration/sharing across teams and departments. - From all of my experiences, managers do everything in their power to provide employees with the necessary resources and means to do the best in their position. This is all you can really ask, you have to do the rest and work hard. - Work-life balance is extremely helpful. Per the norm, 40 hours are expected but you have flexibility in essentially choosing your hours other than core ones and being available for meetings.

Cons

- Pay is across the board lower than average. That being said, if you're an above average employee then that will not be the case. Pay is likely lower than average due to the young workforce which is primarily 1-4 years out of college. - Training: in most positions, there is not a fully developed or organized training program. This is actually a plus and minus. On one hand it teaches you to deal with ambiguous situations. But it does make some people feel uncomfortable. It does however allow the organization to find people that can thrive with minimal direction.
