Pros

- Generous PTO policy of 20 - 30 days depending on seniority - If you get a good manager, things can be nice. They will stick up for you and shield you from the "accesso bureaucracy". - One Friday a month there is a more chill themed day for events and games - Food trucks every couple weeks. - New office floor is nice, but only select few can work there. - Can work from home when needed (sometimes). - Good company for more junior people, most leave after a couple years for more money and less stress.

Cons

- Open office environment. Some people like it but the seating arrangements are awful and it is very difficult to get much done. - The "old guard" leadership needs to be let go. You have some 10+ year leaders here who have very little outside experience other than how accesso does it. - The stock has dropped from a high of almost 3k to 800 pence. Ouch. Don't expect to make any money off vested options unless some major changes are made to instill confidence in the market. - Poor performers are not handled correctly and allowed to coast because others make up for their shortcomings. - Some of the best employees have left recently. - Pay is low, bonuses are low; Does not match market salaries. - Load weeks are probably some of the worst weeks of your life. DevOps is NOT a thing here. The only devops engineer was chased out by poor management. - Some managers are rude, condescending, and have the personality of a rock (that may be too much credit). - You need thick skin. Some days you may hear questionable comments from certain managers that are borderline fireable.

Pros

I can genuinely say that this has been more than just a job—it has been a place where I have grown both professionally and personally. The opportunities I’ve been given to develop my skills, take on new challenges, and expand my knowledge have been invaluable. One of the best parts of my experience has been the people I’ve worked with. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some of the most dedicated, talented, and supportive colleagues. Their passion and commitment to excellence create an inspiring and motivating work environment every day. Beyond that, what makes this company truly special is the sense of purpose and belonging. It’s not just about the work we do, but the impact we have and the shared vision that keeps us moving forward. I’m grateful to be part of something that feels meaningful, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to its success.

Cons

Of course, no workplace is perfect. Like any job, there are occasional challenges—busy seasons that can feel overwhelming, the need to adapt to change, and the occasional growing pains that come with progress. But in my experience, these challenges have been balanced by strong leadership, a supportive team, and opportunities to learn and improve.

Pros

As a Client Success Manager in the attractions and entertainment technology industry, the role combines variety, autonomy, and genuine relationship depth. No two days look the same, with work spanning data analysis, client communications, project tracking, presentation building, and technical troubleshooting, all within an engaging and niche vertical. The role also offers real cross-functional exposure, regularly bridging Support, Product, and Engineering teams, giving a broad view of how the business operates. Beyond the day-to-day work, the role is built on long-term client partnerships rather than transactional interactions, meaning the trust and rapport built with contacts compounds over time in a meaningful way. Working remotely adds a significant quality-of-life dimension, and the impact of the work is tangible: when a client's revenue trends upward or a strategic narrative lands well with leadership, the contribution is clear and traceable.

Cons

There are real challenges that have become harder to ignore. The breadth of the role, while a strength, also means wearing many hats with limited support, often acting as the intermediary absorbing pressure from both clients and internal teams simultaneously. The entertainment and attractions industry is sensitive to economic conditions, and in a difficult economy, clients tighten budgets and become more demanding, which puts additional strain on the relationship and raises the stakes on every interaction. On the compensation side, benefit changes over time have added to a growing sense that the balance between what is given and what is expected has shifted. For a role that requires significant expertise, relationship management, and strategic thinking, reductions in benefits signal a disconnect between how the work is valued and how it is rewarded. Combined with broader economic pressures, it can make it harder to feel confident in the long-term stability and investment in the people doing the work.
