Pros

The working enviroment was good thanks to the Team (not top management). Good health package benefit.

Cons

There is no chance to get promoted into the company due to be all the management positions were ocupied by long-term loyal managers. If you are in their own "sect" you cannot promote. Insane long working hours with not compensation or any kind of support from top management. Relocation for any kind of new position because they only work in big projects, so relocation is mandatory if you want to keep working with them. There is not communication between HR & management with employees about what is the next step. Last minute call about your relocation (sometimes from Eastcoast to westcoast) A lot of propaganda about Company culture but not development about it. Big distance between employess and Top management: so much secretism. 75% of the employees with more than 4 years of experience have quit during the last 4 years. So many changes at the Top Management positions: 3 Country managers in less than 3 years. No future working projects for the next year.

Pros

My experience with ACCIONA has been extremely positive. Management empowers employees, providing the guidance and support needed to help you reach your full potential. Team work is greatly valued and collaboration is part of the culture. It is also great to work for a company that not only invests in its people but also has a clear and meaningful purpose - renewable energy and sustainability.

Cons

My experience has been very positive, no cons! I truly recommend ACCIONA as a great place to work.

Pros

I had great boss. My team was awesome once an individual retired. Site managers were great, I was able to travel to some really cool locations and meet some great people. The technology was involved and working through the disaster of construction and engineering taught me a lot. Acciona is a great stepping stone for entering other high paying companies in Chicago; everyone who leaves becomes a senior manager or director somewhere else.

Cons

The company operated like several separate companies. Some of the US based VPs were toxic, not familiar with industry best practices, and messed with metrics to hide facts or push blame in order to meet goals/KPIs. Very little communication between departments which made life difficult for any junior staff. Everything was urgent or a big deal - most of these items were not urgent or a big deal. There was a ton of drama amongst the senior management. I found I really could not trust anyone beyond my direct boss and group. Also, the company will not try to retain you.
