Review from Product Dept
Acquia is a great place to work if you are obsessed with solving complex challenges.
Review from Product Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Compassionate group that is supportive and encouraging. I have learned a lot from them and have become a much better manager myself.
Review from Product Dept
Starting to really focus on planning ahead instead of being reactive.
Review from Product Dept
Our current executive leadership team is pretty incredible. They're great folks who are passionate about the work we do and committed to delivering the best possible results, but they're also very reasonable when plans change or projects are delayed. They always push us to achieve our potential.
Review from Product Dept
There is a level of accountability that has been missing from Acquia for some time. The newly installed regime has made accountability a priority and is driving a result oriented, customer focused culture throughout the organization.
Review from Product Dept
Many new C level executives have joined in the last couple of years, and all have been excellent choices. I’ve had reservations about Acquia leadership in the past, but I feel that the ship has slowly been righted
Review from Product Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Spend more time with offices outside headquarters
Review from Product Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
I get paid at the high end of the range. Stock options could be very valuable.
Review from Product Dept
Equity grants based on performance and critical contributions to company performance.
Review from Product Dept
Pay, vacation, and other benefits are great. 401k matching doesn't exist. :\
Review from Product Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I know for a fact I am underpaid by 50%-70% (depending on the person) compared to male colleagues in similar roles. It's rampant and wrong. If it's such a great place for women, I am not a part of that movement and neither is any other woman I know in this company -- many anecdotes supporting this.
Review from Product Dept
Other forms of recognition: promotions
Review from Product Dept
The company still does not offer 401k matching, which is understandable given that we're still a startup. However non-Sales employees are still routinely underpaid for their talent and impact on the business, and it's a struggle to catch up. HR would rather hire a new person than approve a raise.
Review from Product Dept
We're on Cigna, which is a fairly stingy insurance company without great coverage for the specific things my family needs. Additionally, there's an odd setup with a Health Reimbursement Account. both of these feel like cost-cutting choices, rather than picking the best option for employees.
Review from Product Dept
Acquia does not provide any 401k matching, which translates into significantly lower compensation. While Acquia offers competitive entry salaries, it’s difficult to earn more than a 5% annual merit increase even with promotions. Otherwise, healthcare, leave, sto
Review from Product Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
We are very supportive of each other. We root for each others success. There is not a lot of politics like other places I have been.
Review from Product Dept
I am surrounded by incredible people. Nearly everyone is passionate, committed, brilliant, kind, and talented, and many folks around here have a great sense of humor that makes even hard days worth the drive into work.
Review from Product Dept
Results oriented, clear on goals and overall outcomes. Meetings often end early, rather than running on indefinitely. The whole company is set up very remote friendly, which gives me flexibility.
Review from Product Dept
Individuals throw themselves at the most challenging problems versus running away from them.
Review from Product Dept
Smart and fun people doing great things.
Review from Product Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Product and Engineering teams have several people who I would describe as straight up *toxic*. I have felt discriminated against as a woman several times by colleagues.
Review from Product Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Collaborative tone and setting. Lots of support. It helps that the company is doing really well.
Review from Product Dept
Everyone is just deeply committed to customer success and helping each other out.
Review from Product Dept
Work-life-flexibility is crucial and something the company supports. I can attend my children's events, cook dinners, support my wife's career while being a critical contributor to Acquia's success.
Review from Product Dept
We do the right things.
Review from Product Dept
The company is transparent and respects honesty. People care about their work and each other.
Review from Product Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
flexibility is a real plus, but also a minus because it makes it easy to work all night.
Review from Product Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
I knew someone at the company, so it was a little easier for me. Lots of people get hired as referrals
Review from Product Dept
Lots of chances to talk with people I'd be working with and get and understanding of what the company is like.
Review from Product Dept
Going through an exercise was really important for me to get to know the players in the room. It gave them a real chance to assess my skills but for me to assess them as well. Interview questions can be like multiple choice exams as you don't really know who someone is until you see them in action.
Review from Product Dept
Good opportunity to meet people and understand the company culture.
Review from Product Dept
My personal interview process was not typical. They have become more standardized, lengthy, and likely a bit more difficult. Regardless, my own interview process was great. One casual interview and I was in.
Review from Product Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
They take forever to schedule interviews, don't coordinate well, and are not good at following up with referrals.
Review from Product Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
My Coworkers and helping customers.
Review from Product Dept
My coworkers and the impact my projects have on customer and employee success.
Review from Product Dept
The challenges that lie ahead for Acquia will be hard to solve but will also be career making in terms of experience. I love to solve challenges that can turn a company into the multi-billion dollar success.
Review from Product Dept
Great people, great technology, great intentions.
Review from Product Dept
Successful delivery of customer value.
Review from Product Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Better product leadership. More focus on customer innovation, less on maintaining legacy code and "old ways". More support of women in tech.
