Pros

High pay for an intern, relaxed dress code, younger employees

Cons

I worked at this company for three semesters while I was in college. After my first semester, I was asked to come back and was placed on a new team. On this new team, a new joiner who was the scrum master sexually harassed me multiple times (on company time and company property). Some examples of this include: -Me messaging him asking what time he's available until, to which he responded with "I'll stay as long as you want bb ;)" -After asking why calendar dates aren't showing up on our application at the correct time, he responded with "I don't know, I'd love to take you out at night instead" -After mentioning that I'm inclined to working with backend applications, he told me "glad to hear that you like backend ;)" -After telling him about a different employee who harassed me via sending me a shirtless pic and telling me that he gets flirty when he drinks vodka, he told me that maybe he should send me a shirtless pic too in order to try to "get me to swing back to men". After reporting these incidents to HR, they took no action other than telling these men not to contact me further. I don't think I've ever experienced a higher level of frustration than when I was forced to come out of the closet to higher ups in order for the impact of his comment to be understood. If you are a woman or LGBT, this workplace will not be friendly to you.

Thank you for your feedback. Advicent takes all claims of harassment extremely seriously and any report of misconduct automatically triggers an internal investigation. As every effort is made to successfully resolve issues of this nature, often times the company cannot share the exact result and what, if any, disciplinary actions were taken. Your comments are not taken lightly. An opinion held by an employee does not reflect the beliefs we hold as a company. Advicent actively encourages conversations around diversity and inclusion to ensure a safe workplace for all employees. We are extremely committed to empowering women in our workplace and have established an employee resource group that is dedicated to helping females advance in their careers.

Pros

Advicent was great - all went downhill after they were acquired by Investcloud. Majority of the team left within a few months of the acquisition (taking the great company culture along with them). Had nothing but great things to say about Advicent... Investcloud is a different story entirely.

Cons

Lack of transparency, mainly surrounding the Covid-era layoffs. To be honest, this is fairly on-par with other Covid layoffs but was one of the only cons I could think of.

Pros

- Great people to work with. They're mostly very intelligent, fun, and willing to help you if have any issues. It may be just me but I have not seen any kind of politics being played that would reduce focus on the job. - Culture is fun and inviting. There are a lot of events and collaboration/sharing across teams and departments. - From all of my experiences, managers do everything in their power to provide employees with the necessary resources and means to do the best in their position. This is all you can really ask, you have to do the rest and work hard. - Work-life balance is extremely helpful. Per the norm, 40 hours are expected but you have flexibility in essentially choosing your hours other than core ones and being available for meetings.

Cons

- Pay is across the board lower than average. That being said, if you're an above average employee then that will not be the case. Pay is likely lower than average due to the young workforce which is primarily 1-4 years out of college. - Training: in most positions, there is not a fully developed or organized training program. This is actually a plus and minus. On one hand it teaches you to deal with ambiguous situations. But it does make some people feel uncomfortable. It does however allow the organization to find people that can thrive with minimal direction.
