Pros
As with any company, the people are what make or break an organization. In Acquity's case, there are some wonderful and highly intelligent people that made the daily grind bearable. Depending on what project you are placed on and what senior member is overseeing, you can learn quite a bit about ecommerce technology in a short span of time which is very marketable right now anywhere. Unfortunately there is the likelihood you could be placed onto a poorly run project where you are thrust into the forefront of a client with little to no training so you have to learn as you go rapidly or else fail.
Cons
The company touts a "mentor" that is assigned to every new employee called a career manager which in theory is great, but in practice often hardly happens. There are many instances where new employees never hear from their career manager so they never get feedback on how they are performing or what the next step is promotion wise during annual reviews. This ties back into the lack of training and learning on the job which can be very stressful at the client site and no clear cut objectives identified to complete in order to advance in the organization professionally. It is all based on who you know in management and whether they like you or not.
