Pros

All of the individuals I've worked with are great! People have positive attitudes and are always willing to answer questions and help in any way possible. Good work-life balance, and it's rare to have to work long hours. Project budgets are good, and there's not such a need to haggle with linguists over rates.

Cons

There is little room for growth within the company. I'm not sure whether it's due to the company's size, but there is a lack of opportunity to step outside of the Project Manager role and really learn something new and explore other opportunities at Acclaro. Emphasis is not placed on investing in employees in regards to adequate training (general loc. PM training as well as what's new in the industry), and there is little acknowledgment of a job well done in regards to raises. While this is not necessarily uncommon in many other jobs these days, it is clear that the higher-ups at Acclaro don't have much regard for experienced PMs' work and do not give raises unless the PM takes on 2 or 3 times their original workload.

Pros

The best part about Acclaro are the people you get to work alongside day in and day out. Everyone is kind to each other, teammates are helpful, and you feel supported. The company is growing and investing in all of the right things. I'm excited to see where they are in 6+ months from now.

Cons

In growth mode which can be bumpy at times but for the right reasons.

Pros

Competitive pay and good benefits (for now) Remove work, unless there's a local office Unlimited time-off, honored by managers

Cons

After the 2023 Merger, the company went drastically downwards, followed by the 2024/2025 complete leadership overhaul, including a new CEO assigned by the private equity. The company is now focused on AI that hasn't been working, but this is what the CEO sold to the private equity. Since mid-2025, there've been continuous layoffs with the remaining workers overloaded: They would let one person go and put their work on another person, who is already overworked. Misogyny: And, the leadership doesn't want to admit it and do anything against it. Follow-the-sun approach, where you have to start your work day early in the morning and end it late at night because your coworkers are all over the world. You can get promotions, bonuses, pay raises only if your manager/leadership favors you! Or, if you're in England where most of the leadership is now at.
