Pros

Out of the 4-5 companies I've worked for, Acadaca is definitely the all around best. I think if I had to choose one word to describe Acadaca it'd be 'flexible'. It's a friendly, almost family-like atmosphere, and the people that work here are down to earth, intelligent, and competent. The work culture is great. And I actually think the work hours are very decent and reasonable, especially for New York. Upper management consists of like 5 people, and they all feel like friends and are very responsive and caring and accessible. I've seen people get promotions pretty quickly (nothing ever feels too stagnant here) and it's made clear we all have the opportunity to move up. But it's not at all a competitive environment. Actually it's the opposite. People are incredibly supportive of one another. Coworkers are very willing to help if you're struggling with something. And if and when the work load gets to be overwhelming, anyone and everyone is willing to jump in and help to take a little weight off your burden. But whether the experience here is good or bad or you fit in with the company culture or you don't, it's hard to argue that this isn't a solid place to have a job. And working here (as a project manager more specifically), provides you with very applicable, varied, and substantial work experience and skills.

Cons

Sometimes it feels like there's simultaneously too much structure and not enough structure. It's a growing company so naturally there are some growing pains as they adjust to find the right balance. Although I do think that Acadaca is doing a good job of handling it.

Pros

Not a bad place as your first job. There is no office so everyone is remote (can be a con for some).

Cons

It’s a small company, so benefits suck - be ready to pay a lot for health insurance if you want a decent plan. They are very strict with time tracking and get very micromanagy with it. Upper management can be secretive and sometimes you don’t find out about major changes (such as layoffs) until the very last minute. They are quick to fire people as soon as projects end or they lose a client, which doesn’t do any good for morale or employees’ mental health.
