Do not do business with this organization, unless it dramatically changes - Recensione dipendente - Manager presso Acquity Group

control my work time and assignments

too much work at times

- Great clients, great projects - Excellent coworkers at a peer level for knowledge-work positions - Base salary was pretty okay - Despite the pressures and the faceless life of being a below-direct-level cog here, your job is actually pretty secure if you're at least adequate at what you do

Work/life balance is non-existent. You will get scheduled for several meetings and this is generally outside of your control, but you will be expected to make up ALL of that meeting time in billable work. This includes an hours-long annual company meeting. Other factors beyond your control may greatly extend your expected hours in a given week, and this stuff can even crop up as a total surprise on, say, a Friday and suddenly you are required to pull an all-nighter. Rank is everything at Acquity Group. If you are below Director level, you are a faceless, interchangeable cog. Account Managers and Engagement Managers are sometimes almost outright antagonistic toward developers (though a few of them are great). One or two will gladly throw you under the bus to protect themselves, and this sometimes involves bending the truth to do so. There is no real concept of high quality tech sales. Sales staff seemingly guess at what can be done/is possible, and then you're on the hook to deliver it.
