Current Employee – been working at Acronis full-time for less than a year

ProsGreat people. Huge opportunity. Indoor parking. Well stocked snack room. Inclusive in decision making. Great IT staff. Clear vision for the company. Very international in attitude and workforce. Great products.

ConsSome policies such as filing expense claims, are draconian and untrusting. Some people have been there too long. A lot of new employees so culture is not stable.

Advice to Senior ManagementOn the right track. Maybe spend a bit more on some of the internal systems and speed up decision making.

Woburn, MA (US)

Current Employee – been working at Acronis full-time for less than a year

ProsI have been with Acronis for 2 months, and I have a good feel for company culture now. Under the new leadership there is an abundance of positive change with the business direction. The new leadership understands what is needed to move forward and expand, while not ignoring the business that has made them successful for the last decade.

ConsThere is still a lot of work to be done, which means long hours, but the work is rewarding and team-oriented.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep the new course, and continue the employee-centric activities that have resulted in the positive work environment.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Acronis

ProsFree food, good people who are really trying

ConsCEO and management who just say "yes" to whatever the CEO wants
Purely numbers driven company - doesn't matter how many "bodies" are left in the wake of hitting the number
Incompetent head of WW Sales

Advice to Senior ManagementListen to the people who have been hired to do their jobs. They have more depth in their field than anyone in managment. No one person has all the answers

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Acronis full-time for more than a year

ProsTruely international culture.
Real opportunities for Acronis to grow and be successful.
There are some really talented and lovely people working here.
Good mix of maturity and experience - the right people getting the right roles, in the right geographies.
Alex Pinchev will make Acronis more successful, you can count on it.
New leaders like Alex P and Scott Crenshaw value people and are respected throughout the industry.

Just six months ago I wouldn't have recommended this company to a friend - but now I would.

ConsHas been a lot of change this year and there is still a lot ahead, but it is all good change.
You have to be self motivated and stay focused and flexible, because of the changes.
I am bored of eating at the Beacon Grille.

Advice to Senior ManagementThe management changes have been good so far - keep going til the right team is in place and is a real management team. Some of the culture issues from previous management are still lingering - stay consistent in action and words and demonstrate company values etc. You have an incredibly bright and observant employee base - keep up the open communication!

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
