Accelera Solutions Reviews

Wow, where to start? Let's say first off that any review with 4-5 stars is being written by the owners or asked to be written by the owners. This company is completely dysfunctional at this point, and they are in a downward death spiral. I can see them dissolving maybe a year or two. Most of the new hires are from out of state. There is a big difference between making 60k in PA, OH, NC and 60k in Northern Virginia. Just remember that the price of a efficiency/studio in Fairfax is anywhere between 1200-1400 per month. The average household income is 100k in NOVA, which puts things in perspective. Stocks don't mean anything. They will never sell at the asking price and the stocks aren't really yours. If you leave, you lose the stock. Also, there is no guarantee that the stock will be paid out, it's up to the potential buyer to decide. The stock thing is a farse. BYOD which really stands for buy your own device is horrible. They give you $1000 dollars for a laptop which seems nice. The catch is that you need to buy 24/7 support on that machine, so have fun buying a 500 dollar computer. Plus the computer isn't really yours. If you leave after one year, be prepared to pay back $666, fully covered after three years of employment - Amazing!

Geesh... it is almost too painful to write. The company that I once enjoyed and woke up ready to give 100% to each morning, now has turned its back on me and so many others. We as the employees don't matter anymore. Sitting through town-hall after town-hall about how things will get better and new leadership will turn it around, all just lies. This new leadership is the worst ever. I now understand why friends that work over where our new dictator came from laughed when I told them. Now I hate to get up each morning. I give 100% for my customers, but having to go into that office makes me ill each time I have to be there. And as other reviews stated, we are now required to go in and sit at our desks like school kids when we don't have a site visit to do. Which is getting to be more and more because there is no work. How about the managers focus on getting us more work and worry less about what we do when we aren't onsite with customers. I have now seen so many good, talented engineers and managers leave over the last 3 months with no explanation. We all have to assume the rumors are true that this company is in BAD, BAD, BAD financial shape. There is no other reason to let go of the talent that we have lost other than money. Like another reviewer said, I can't see them hanging around more than a year or so. There is just not any revenue coming in. I ask about deals and little things I hear of for contracts, and nothing ever happens with them. I heard we won SEWP which I thought was supposed to be good. Then I heard we lost every pre-sales resource that knows SEWP. Sure we could hire more pre-sales engineers, but I want to know why they left if we just got this great contract that would make them money? Something doesn't add up and being lied too all the time is really getting old. Pay is not good here, but I am starting too see that it is all they can pay. There is just no money in this place. I know it seems like a broken record now, but it really is the truth. I think all of us here that are scrambling to get out, and it is almost all of us, would just warn those looking DON"T SIGN THE PAPER!!! STAY AWAY!!! You will regret it about 6 months into it. When the new wears off and you start seeing all of the bad stuff that is going on, just know that we tried to warn everyone. Run while you can!!
