Acquia Interviews Employee Reviews
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was fairly quick and didn't take long
The opportunity to meet all of the key leaders.
Quick feedback and quick process
They showed that they wanted me
I learned a lot about the company.
They held a mock scenario which I've found to be very accurate to what we see on a regular basis. It gave me a great idea of the kind of work to expect.
Structured and very process oriented

Review from Sales Dept
I enjoyed the day they brought me in for an on site interview. I had a chance to meet a lot of the folks on the team.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Speed - process took about a little over a week. Usually in other companies it can take multiple weeks. Recruiter was probably the best recruiter that I have spoken to - extremely knowledgable about the work, benefits, team, and just great to talk to.

Review from Customer Support Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Eliminate standardized testing and restrictive policies that discourage diversity.
They take forever to schedule interviews, don't coordinate well, and are not good at following up with referrals.
Review from Product Dept
Better follow up from HR and more structure/preparation during the interview
Review from Marketing Dept
It was very disorganized, highlighted by poor communication. Months went by without any contact.
Review from Engineering Dept
Setting expectations more clearly for interviewees
Review from Engineering Dept
Acquia needs to improve its overall approach to interviewing software engineers. The result is some engineers titles are over/under-inflated and this isn't realized until later. We do a good job with culture fit, though, so they're all great people and it tends to work out in the end.
Review from Engineering Dept
Speed it up. It shouldn't take months to get someone in when they're clearly the right fit. Don't be so worried about finding the perfect fit. Find great people who work hard and come recommended. The team of employees will figure out the rest.
It *has* improved. The past culture was focused on waaaaay over-interviewing. We now do three rounds, and that seems much better.
