Pros

- Most people there are great to work with (this excludes 95% of execs/management) - Benefits are pretty good though employees are forced to pay for more than half so it balances out - If you like weekly team meetings that being at 5:30-6pm, this is the place for you

Cons

- NO work life balance (expectation is you work 12hrs+ a day and weekends with no extra compensation) - NO perks whatsoever - Poorly selected managers (cronyism at its finest) - Founders show no appreciation for sacrifices employees make for company and regularly renege on commitments - Terrible compensation (even for a start-up) - Tense work environment - Extremely unprofessional behaviour from execs (berating employees openly in front of others, swearing, shouting) - Understaffed dev dept. (mostly outsourced with poor results) - Have made unprofessional and disparaging remarks to rest of company about employees who are let go - Expectations are completely unreasonable given available resources

Pros

One of the top two companies I have worked for in my many years. There are not many companies that fulfill the story they tell in the interview process, but ACTO is different. True senior management leadership by example in support of a culture focused on making a difference in the Life Sciences market they service. ACTO is a young company destined for greatness. Employment comes with the expectation that you will continue to drive the standard of excellence that is set and you will be rewarded for the same. It does not get much better than this companies people and culture.

Cons

They struggle with the kinds of pains typical of rapid growth companies. It's not a Con just a symptom of success.
