Great place to Work! - Anonymous Acciona Employee Review

Working at Acciona has been a great experience. The job is exciting, with engaging projects and the constant opportunity to make a real impact. There are plenty of chances to learn and grow, whether through collaboration with different teams, participating in training, or engaging in meaningful discussions. I have also had the opportunity to work with colleagues from different countries, which has given me valuable international experience. Acciona strongly supports international collaboration, internal mobility and exchanges, and I have experienced this firsthand. Over the years, I have worked in different countries and have seen my direct reports do so too. And naturally, it is rewarding to be part of a company that prioritizes sustainability and is committed to making a positive difference.

Acciona follows a global matrix management structure, which has both benefits and challenges. It brings together different perspectives and encourages teamwork across departments and regions. However, sometimes extra effort is required to coordinate across teams.

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.

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.
