Achievers Reviews

Pros

Great culture and awesome management. Lots of opportunity to advance within the company. They are always looking to help with personal development.

Cons

Nothing I can think of!

Pros

Physical space, teams, nice people overall

Cons

Toronto based New President no leadership, lack of vision and ability to build cohesive team; creates instability; clear with where to go, not able to make it happen. Dysfunctional leadership, no guidance, unrealistic assessment of needs and people to do it.

Advice to Management

Try to be realistic and look closely at what you are creating. You are focused on expansion yet won’t have a team left to build it. Many are looking to get out. US - keep a close eye as it is not what it appears.

Pros

Young people, interesting activities, fast paced

Cons

Too political for a company of that size

Pros

-Really great people. Friendly, easy to get along with and always looking to help. This has been largely a constant in my time here. -The product and company have a very social and positive mission. This isn't just a product by corporations for corporations. The impact on the everyday user and their engagement is a genuine concern for those in product/client facing teams. This could be attractive for some especially...

Cons

-Needs more competitive compensation. -Behind the positive outlook there is some undeniable tension between client facing and engineering sides of the company. Some favoritism. -The product needs some updating to current standards. New features are great but when the older ones are still not the most user friendly or look aesthetically outdated it's not a good look.

Pros

Amazing co-workers, awesome culture. If you are looking for boosting your experience in any direction, there is no limit: you will have full support from your manager.

Cons

The compensation is always a controversial aspect in Achievers. It can be way better than current situation, there are lots of places ready to pay more (I myself received two 30% higher offers from recruiters in the past 6 months, even though I was not looking for a job). Free drinks and bagel in the morning is some thing nowadays every mid-level tech company offers to it’s employees. By time goes, we only see the benefits...

Advice to Management

It’s not fair to look at “average market salary”. While you expect the best outcome (and we deliver this expectation even higher), you need to consider higher margin of market. It does not create a promising picture when you remove a benefit, and after a while return part of it and show off about it. Expanding team is great (probably more for the company owners, to grow their investment), but current people should feel...

Pros

Amazing culture. Great employee engagement, recognition and support. Company is growing really quickly, so it's an exciting place to work Employees are very smart

Cons

Some processes need upgrading, but the company is aware of this and changes are in the pipeline. Dealing with the parent company can be cumbersome

Advice to Management

Keep it fun and positive!!

Pros

Lots of cultural events. Market leading solution in their space. Backing of larger parent company.

Cons

Legacy technologies used to build solution

Advice to Management

Nothing much, keep on path and stay the course.

Always changing management makes plan execution difficult
