Pros
Really amazing coworkers - everyone truly is a delight to work with! I love my immediate team, and whenever I interface with people from other teams I am very grateful the company hires and attracts such excellent individuals. Fantastic benefits and generous vacation policy! Everyone is very encouraging about taking enough time off, and making time to benefit from the professional and personal development funds. The company is also working on clearer career development paths and implementing transparent pay bands. Exciting trajectory! Last year, the company had acquired and merged with another company and it took some time to understand how to adapt both to the increased scope and size. The larger company recently rebranded to reflect these changes, increased scope, and path forward, and there is a clearer sense of identity. I am genuinely excited to see what the future holds! Appreciative and considerate of feedback! Since the start of the year, Acuity has noticeably improved its initiative planning and communication across teams. Personally (and especially in my team), I feel like my insights are taken into account and I can see how actionable steps are taken as a result.
Cons
Navigating the fast growth of the company (as well as the 2022 economic climate) has been difficult. The company, like many other fast growing startups, has seen a lot of turnover. I love working remotely and for me, the fact that Acuity is remote-first is a great advantage! However, this can lead to feelings of being isolated / siloing. Slack/Zoom are not the same as just asking someone a quick question in person.
