Achievers Reviews

Pros

Despite our revenue taking a bit of a hit, Achievers was relatively untouched by COVID (no furloughs or lay offs). Pay seems to be above average compared to many companies of our size. We have a few unique perks like flexible (unlimited) vacation, phone subsidies, generous rewards & recognition, top of the line tech stack, generous referral program, several ERGs, and good benefits from day one. It's also very easy to move around within the company which leaves room for lots of growth.

Cons

Many elements of our culture dropped off when we started to work from home, but I think this is typical. The company can be a bit slow to get rid of managers who aren't well liked, but they still seem to go on mass firing sprees for seemingly good employees each quarter which is a bit daunting. Aside from that, the C-suite is completely caucasian. We could use a MUCH more diverse leadership team. Achievers is rapidly growing, which is a good thing. But there are constant changes being made, and it's hard to keep up when communications aren't good.

Pros

The culture! You will not find such an amazing culture like in Achievers. New ideas and process improvements are encouraged, product feedback is taken seriously. You will make friends for life here and gain very valuable work experience.

Cons

Leadership. Many managers from different departments don't care about their teams, extremely understaffed and employees can be very stressed and work till late at night. Many promotions happen frequently but they are unfair (manager's friend, the client's daughter. In a team of 7 people of which 6 were immigrants, the only white person got promoted - who had been there the shortest amount of time. Team leader got chosen because he expressed interest in the role, but wasn't qualified.

Pros

Great culture - very focused on the employee experience Takes employee feedback to heart and continues to evolve Investing in tech debt and advancing the platform Growing fast with strong global growth so creating new career opportunities Finding ways to give back to the community and make a difference beyond the core products and services. Really great customer satisfaction results. Proud to work for a company that focuses so much on delighting customers.

Cons

Continue to invest in sales growth to enable us to be able to invest further in solving new problems. Great to see the momentum on the Feedback tool. Learning how to sell new products is not easy. Keep the focus up here so we don't lose energy to become great. Fast paced... not the right fit if you aren't fully vested in the growing personally and with the business.

Pros

There are constant opportunities to engage with peers or senior leaders, even in today's remote environment. The internal "Aspire" platform shows recognitions and achievements, and the daily (quick) update meeting lets you know the corporate priorities. The company is very focused on rewarding and making it a great place to work for all.

Cons

Work-life balance is a struggle in any company, including Achievers as there are many priorities and projects in the queue. HOWEVER, the company is actively working to solve this issue by hiring more workers and providing additional days off as a thank you for the extra work hours being put in at night due to the pandemic. I would not let this be a deterrent for applying.

Pros

1. Culture - Cannot emphasize enough on the impact that has in the work you do! 2. Growth mindset - I am constantly encouraged to seek development opportunities and proudly have a growth mindset approach. 3. Positivity - We sell happiness, no wonder there's abundant positivity in the workplace. 4. Collaborative - I continue to be amazed by the help, collaboration, and professionalism my peers demonstrate.

Cons

1. If you are simply seeking a "cool" job that helps pay your bills, this is not the place for you. Come here to be excited about the work we do and bring your energy to the table! 2. Everybody is very approachable so if you are looking to be treated differently because of position, this may not be the place for you.

Pros

Incredible senior leadership team with ambitious goals, incredible vision and active involvement which truly trickles down and across the entire organization. Truly a inclusive culture as well. CEO also practices what he preaches and connects with individuals (in 1:1s as well) throughout the organization to ensure that company and personal growth opportunities are aligned. A win-win for everyone.

Cons

There is no question that work-life balance can be challenging during a period of tremendous change, even if that change is positive. Especially since employees are so engaged in the work and the vision. The company is aware and actively looking for ways to address that while also staying keeping an eye on our goals.

Pros

Overall a very positive company. Everyone seems happy to be here. I haven't encountered anyone who genuinely hates their job or is unhappy. They use the product they sell internally so we recognize and reward all employees which is a great feeling to be part of.

Cons

They are hiring a lot of people lately and growing fast. It will be interesting to see how this hiring and growth will be handled and managed and how it will affect the company going forward.
