Acciona reviews

Engineering and Construction is headed by a micromanager that makes literally every decision in the department. No trust in personnel to make decisions. No work-life balance and no empathy for employees. Management by intimidation and borderline harassment of employees. Upper management CEO (US), management in Spain, and HR see what is happening and either refuse to do anything or don't care. Heavy turnover affects the continuity of teams. Not many long tendered employees. Younger employees will learn a lot because there are many battlefield promotions due to turnover. The company leaves a ton of money on the table due to mismanagement. Stay away as the average tenure is 12-18 months.

Spain HQ is disconnected from reality with the required volume, cost, and schedule of US projects. All they do is happy-talk, then push useless standards and processes that just make our lives harder. They are always caught off-guard when something predictably goes wrong. US leadership drinks that Kool-Aid, then pushes for still more output despite very limited personnel. Micromanagement and busywork waste a ton of time; you'll put in lots of nights and weekends just trying to keep up. Projects are always acquired in a hurry without proper diligence, resulting in complications that everyone will get blamed for. HR gets onto this site and writes positive reviews to fool you. Questionable ethics when trying to save some money, even though we have to do a million hours of quality and safety training.
