Poor management practices - Recensione dipendente - Sr. Engineer presso Access Group

Access was a great place to work while it existed. There were constant challenges and opportunities to learn. The employees were challenged to make a difference.

Access Group was practically dissolved with all but a mere 5% of its employees left to carry on the name. If your difference didn't work there were consequences.

Access Group has good benefits and is in a great location in DC.

I worked at Access Group for about a year, and could not leave fast enough! This organization is poorly run, there is clear misalignment between their stated goals, strategic plan, and actual implementation. The people are nice enough to work with, just monumentally incompetent. When verifiable ideas are presented, they are immediately shot down or given the long slow "we'll look into this..." death. The reason good ideas are shot down is precisely because they are verifiable. The organization has no genuine interest in providing access to law schools at an affordable rate (despite their mission) because their funding comes from student loans. Much like the Truth campaign, whose funding is from cigarettes, this organization spins its wheels, restructures, reorganizes, and rehires so they cannot be held to any accountable standard for what they do with their $400M raked in loans from former law students.
