Pros
- Loved the people and the flexible work hours. - The ability to work from home was helpful.
Kontras
- The software has serious issues and developers are not interested in fixing it. - Responsibility for keeping the software running is passed on to employees who did not develop it and are not empowered to make changes. - The employee is expected to be available 24/7, but Accretive does not provide cell phones or reimburse the employee for personal cell phone use. - The insurance is expensive and suboptimal. - There are some arrogant people there who just will not believe that they made a mistake. Everyone else is expected to just adjust how they work to accomodate the mistake. - Work is kept in silos and those affected are not even aware that changes have been made until they have to deal with them. - Communication is awful. - Many employees refuse to attend meetings. Those meetings that do occur are all over the phone and on Lync. Rarely do people meet face to face. - There are certain groups within IT that are required for meetings, but just don't show up or get on the call. Much time is wasted tracking these people down just to get updates. - Heavy reliance on offshore workers who are apparently treated badly and so are not motivated.
