IDX: 0 TOT: 28
Does Acquia drug test or do a background check?
At least some engineering roles with admin access do involve a criminal background check, but I'm not sure if it is routine for all employees. There is no drug testing done.
No.
Background check yes.
How's the vacation policy at Acquia?
Relaxed.
It depends on your department. It is described as 'unlimited vacation', but individual departments may have fine print that says "the expectation for PTO in your department is 2-3 weeks of vacation per year". Either way, it's pretty good.
Unlimited vacation. In my experience, no one is keeping track of it.
What is the dress code at Acquia?
Professional casual is the best way to describe it. Very few people, if any, wear suits / formal dresses unless there are client or third party meetings. Jeans are the standard with individual variance based on preference and comfort.
None. Casual?
What's one thing you wish you'd known before joining Acquia?
I was told that IPO was imminent, within 2-3 months, and options were used to negotiate a lower salary and offered instead of any 401k matching at all. Years later, it seems that IPO may never happen.
"Options" for an IPO that was going to happen "any month now" were used during negotiations to lower salaries. Months turned to years; shares are still being sold as an alternative to retirement / 401k shares, but it looks like IPO may never happen. Aside from that, it's a good place to work. It's full of very smart people.
