Pros

Co workers are kind and nice everyone. They kind of band together because it is a unsafe and hostile work environment because of the leadership

Cons

Too many to list but they are a non-inclusive, and create a horrible environment for employees to work in. This page is full of fake employee posts, trust me I help write them.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We do appreciate you sharing, and I want to address each of your specific concerns because I think it's important that you know you are heard. First, I very much agree with you that the employees at Acquire are kind and nice people. These are traits that we look for when hiring and are glad you are experiencing this! I can't say that I agree, however, that the employees band together because of a potential hostile work environment and leadership. As the People leader, I find that I have numerous close relationships with different employees in the company and that my door is always open to hear any concerns someone might have. It is my privilege to provide a safe space, and I will continue to build an environment where employees feel safe to speak to the leaders or their managers. I also welcome employees to go directly to members of the leadership team as well as our CEO and COO to express any concerns they may have about Acquire (and I believe that often this does happen). As for inclusivity, I believe we are very focused on increasing the sense of belonging of our employees and we put in a ton of effort to diversify our staff (and the numbers show). In this year alone, there will be more trainings, more programs, and more goal setting around DEI than ever before as it is one of our main OKRs (and I will welcome your continuing feedback on it). As a company founded by immigrants with a leadership team comprised of mainly immigrants and underrepresented people, this is really important to us. Also as a female voice in the company, I've not personally felt my voice be tamped down and often encourage the other women and any other underrepresented gender to take their place at the table. I would love to hear more from you around pockets where you do not believe this is happening because it will be helpful to understand and try to address any of these issues immediately. Finally, I would like to say that we do not force people to write employee reviews on Glassdoor, and if ever you feel like someone is asking you to please let me know personally and I'm happy to help. I am the owner of our Acquire Glassdoor account and do NOT want false reviews on here so if you are having to write them, please stop and alert the People Team. The reviews that ARE here, however, are from real Acquire employees who choose to take time out of their day to share their experiences with us, and we are grateful that they do. Your post says that you are a current employee, and I want you to know that my door is always open for you to have a safe space to talk especially as the concerns you have listed in this review are major. The People Team is here to listen, and as a current employee, your voice matters (no matter how hard it may be for us to hear some of these things). If you'd like to take the conversation offline to help us build a better Acquire, I'd love to connect. Feel free to email me directly at my@acquire.io and we can chat. My, VP of People

Pros

The only pros I can think of aren't relevant anymore.

Cons

This is not a company for everyone, the leadership team is extremely junior and does not know how to properly run a business. Employees are left with empty promises ranging from career growth, equity, company financials, and more. There is no vision or true strategy and the product is incredibly unstable. Acquire is notorious for reacting to problems rather than strategically planning to avoid potential risks. The CEO has never worked in Software before and doesn't understand how a SaaS business operates. The leadership team's solution for poor business performance has oftentimes been layoffs and frequent organizational restructuring rather than addressing the fundamental problems. The core issues are product and leadership, that's it. This company had a mass market opportunity but could have very well missed its ideal time to market.

Worst Company Ever to Work For.

Pros

There is nothing great about this company.

Cons

I'm already afraid that this review will be deleted because some how Acquire seems to pay their (ex)employees to sign a contract not to write negative review before the leave or get fired from the company. Founders have no vision or strategy. They hire good people but because the founders have no vision or a single clue what they're doing, a lot of people end up leaving or getting fired for no explainable reason. Just look up how many people have left the company and their tenure during Acquire. Product is a hot mess. Not sure if it's really working or they're creating these hack-y solutions case by case.

Hi, there and thank you for your feedback. It looks like you’re a former employee and your time at Acquire saw you struggling with the product and the pace of changes we made. I do not discount your experience, and know that it must have been tough. We’ve tended in the past to move very quickly and unfortunately that can result in a lot of personnel changes. I agree with you in the past we’ve been not great at sharing progress with the company and hope to rectify this very soon. We wish you best of luck on your journey! My, VP of People
