      Growing via acquisitions. Uncertain path forward for products.

      Pros

      Has a fairly well established set of processes for software development. Salary and general benefits are reasonable with a generous PTO plan offering 17 days to start, 22 days after 2 years, and 27 days after 4 years.

      Cons

      Since the acquisition by Accel-KKR, the local staffing strategy for the development department seems to be one of attrition with most vacated positions not being back-filled. Several recent terminations without any clear communication of the employee's shortcomings leading up to terminations or after. Very few opportunities to work with modern software frameworks and technologies. Uncertain future with an obvious emphasis on growth through acquisitions, cost minimization, and the imminent sale of the company.

      Pros

      Excellent coworkers, good team work

      Cons

      Company is downsizing fast and pushing people to work harder and harder day by day. Lay off in every few days.

      No longer the company I signed up for

      Pros

      Had nice and competent people to work with, work life balance and flexible work schedule with one day a week we could work from home.

      Cons

      Taking care of the employees was never a priority for the previous or the current SciQuest CEO; lack of transparency between company's vision, customers' requirements and development teams; very limited opportunity to grow at SciQuest; hence, the turn over rate has been high. Accel-KKR acquired SciQuest on 07/28/2016. Two months later, the former CEO took a $2.7+ million package and left, along with the whole executive team. A new "leadership" team appointed by AKKR took over immediately, so did the layoff start. The new executive team certainly has good records - to AKKR and their investors, as they had successfully flipped the companies for AKKR. For instance, the new CTO never spent more than 2.5 yrs on a company after his own company was acquired by AKKR. Hard to imagine he'll spend more time here in his rental apartment to build teams and products at SciQuest to last. To the new team, people at SciQuest are merely numbers on their balance sheet. Layoffs started quietly yet all we got from the new CEO was "I am confused by your org chart ... I am confused by your products ... go back to work, and work hard". The culture wasn't great before, but at least it was not insulting. SciQuest is no longer the company I signed up for. In my opinion, it's just a matter of time before AKKR cut the numbers of employees, or in their mind, the cost, to a level they can maximize their profits, then give a face lift of the current products, and sell SciQuest ASAP. That's a legit business plan for investors, unfortunately, not for employees at SciQuest.

      We couldn’t agree more that the competent and talented team of employees at SciQuest is one of the key strengths of the company, and we believe it’s why we have a very bright future ahead of us. We are focused on helping SciQuest reach its potential in becoming the leading procure-to-pay software provider in the world. That’s been our stated vision from day one, and we have received positive feedback from many of our employees, customers and analysts. The path to becoming the clear market leader includes making some tough changes that not everyone will agree with. As you stated, the new executive team has an excellent track record of transforming businesses to create positive growth. We believe that the changes we are making today will be better for our customers and our employees in the long run.
