If you're considering working with or at Achieve, turn around now and run the other way. This company is a textbook example of how not to run a business. Financial incompetence is woven into the very fabric of the place. They can't seem to manage a budget or even create one. It is ignorant that certain expenses are not stopped to preserve cash and it's expected for employees to do more with less. Are they are in denial or do they just not care? (a common question by many) Their answer is to let primary employees go, not because of performance issues, but because management lacks the knowledge and caring to fix processes and money issues the hard way. Incompetent favorites are saved with each round of layoffs. I can't wait to see the next genius idea from these employees that will ultimately fail again.
It's not uncommon to hear whispers of unpaid invoices, delayed payments or urgent scrambles just to keep essential services running. The financial instability trickles down into every corner of the company, creating a toxic environment of uncertainty and mistrust.
Achieve is a 20+ year company and they still rely heavily on investor funding. That should tell you a lot.
Specifically, management in Finance. Calling them leadership would be laughable if it weren't so frustrating. They are unmotivated, unqualified and uninterested in anything beyond preserving their own positions. Direction is non-existent and self-intitiave dies a slow death under their watch. If you ask them for help in resolving a situation, they ignore you or make an excuse to avoid getting involved. They lack skills necessary to effectively lead teams.
