Pros

I want to keep this review subjective as possible some of the pro's include: - Half day Fridays for summer hours - They do offer a 401k match but lower than industry standard - They do offer health insurance....but high deductible plans - ability to be remote ( CEO woke up when covid hit and started to see talent can live elsewhere) - 3 weeks off..... lower than industry standard

Cons

-HR Acuity is ran more like a white collar corporation than a " high growth startup" that they boast. - They do not offer competitive salary, benefits, or a true work/life balance with flexible or unlimited time off. - There is hardly promotions into leadership roles - There is no investment in a person's growth -The CEO is involved in most sales deals and doesnt trust the and the sales team for that matter to run the plays but themselves. - Nepotism is REAL throughout the organization with certain staff in various departments - One of the biggest blockers are internal teams. they point fingers rather than stepping in and stepping up to help -Dont expect some senior leadership to respond to internal emails in a timely fashion - Expect certain teams to also point fingers on who handles what - Expect some leadership to railroad customer/prospect calls - Expect leadership to rely so heavily on their team I doubt they know how to operate the platform... - Expect certain to be sitting in India rather than the US - Expect to have very little diversity in the Csuite...and being a female is not diverse enough... you can only drive home " Woman owned business" so many times - For being an hr tech company they do not have a proper internal HR Department which in turn they do not use their own ER/investigations software - Expect Micromanagement in EVERY department and expect texts and calls early morning/late at night. There is truly no respect for your own time - If you are in sales and you close the deal its a waste to leave because they will not pay you out on it - Alot of internal meetings that could be handled by an email - Don't expect a raise during your tenure

Pros

The culture at HR Acuity is wonderful. It is the best culture at any place I have worked at in my 13 year career. The engineering work is challenging and there is a lot of room for career advancement. I feel like my ideas are taken seriously and I have been able to give lots of input. The work life balance is excellent. I really appreciate the flexible PTO and half days on Fridays in the summer.

Cons

Growing pains from being a high growth tech company.

Pros

Intelligent, dedicated people who genuinely love their jobs. Thought leaders in the HR/ER space. Amazing, thorough onboarding program. Open to new ideas, workflows, processes, etc.

Cons

Just the same as with any tech company. Fast-paced environment, shifting priorities, changing market demands. The people here are very present and accept these 'cons' and challenges yet to be solved.
