Accruent Employee Reviews for Software Engineer

"Expect long hours and little pay; for those with no experience, may be worth it."

What do you like about working at Accruent?

"I'm allowed to work a pretty relaxed schedule. There's a bi-monthly beer bash."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"You really don't need experience to get a job here, but you will need to pass the an assessment test. The test is intended to measure problem solving skills and helps determine if you are a good fit for the company's values."

What don't you like about working at Accruent?

"Unreasonable expectations. Project deadlines are too aggressive for even teams of seasoned software developers, much less distributed teams of primarily green and midlevel engineers. Intense pressure to work long hours on a regular basis. Working til 4am to solve customer issues is not unusual. The product is in a bad state, obviously. Salaries for engineering run about 20-25k less than other companies in the area. Benefits are average. No 401k matching. Pay raises officially don't exist."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Raise salaries to be somewhat competitive. Also, give people the resources they need to be successful (currently no real product training for engineers, very few domain experts, skillset books and development tools are limited, access to code base and servers needed to complete tasks is slow and sometimes never given at all). Game room and free beer are great things for the vast number of young people in the office, but being paid reasonably and being given the tools for success would make employees happier."
