Pros

None for me. See below.

Cons

Personally for me, I accepted the job offer because based on the interview, I thought I would be working with loyal people who care for the growth and development of their employees. Instead, what I found was that my manager expected me to know how to do my job without any training or support. Despite that, I genuinely tried to do my job to the best of my ability. In my interim review, I was told I was awesome and that they couldn't be happier with my progress. The only thing said that wasn't exactly positive was that by my 1 year mark, I should be able to independently complete my deliverables without them having to be reviewed. Before I had the chance to show them that I could work independently, less than a month later, I was let go. I was told I was not a fit for that company and that I had to leave the next day. How nice of them to give me a one day notice and 5 days pay afterwards...which coincidentally turned out to be the vacation days I accrued and never took. No additional severance at all. But that's not even the worst part....the part that hurt most was getting no warning at all and having my manager pretend like everything was going okay. Isn't it the managers job to, hmmm, I don't know....MANAGE?!

Pros

Flexible work schedule (including work from home options). Career development opportunities and trainings encouraged (as evidenced by multiple staff promotions each year). The company believes in innovation and the value of people. You will feel good about the work you are doing. The employees at ACI are truly the best. I feel lucky to work with such an incredible team every single day. On any given day if you walk around the office, you will see people working collaboratively as a team. The company offers fun activities and employee recognition (think ice cream trucks in the middle of the day, happy hours, parties, random lunches). Overall, it’s the best place I have ever worked.

Cons

Due to nature of the work, there can be extremely busy periods. Innovation is excellent, but sometimes the ideas take a life of their own. One obstacle of having so many long-standing employees in management positions, it may feel challenging for new staff to come in and feel like they are making an impact or to know where they fit. A year ago the company implemented a new hire buddy system and feedback loop for new hires that seems to be well received.
