Pros

HR and other leaders are really good at trying to add positive reviews to hide how bad the company has become.

Cons

The company constantly “transforms” which means their is no stability and no strategies actually have a chance to be fully deployed. Upper management tells others to live the values of the company, but blatantly disregard them themselves. There are also “leaders” in positions they have no business to be in, because they do not have the correct skills in the subject area nor any skills to lead people. The cost cutting and headcount reductions throughout the company have been extreme to drive up the share price and earnings. This is not sustainable. Failures and poor service will occur because of this. There are many good workers that have left on their own after the cuts. The remaining employees are beyond swamped with work. Management thinks that outsourcing the work is the easy fix, but much of the compliance and institutional knowledge cannot be easily replaced. Some people at Alliant think all the negative reviews are being put in by just a few disgruntled employees. Wake up and look at how Glassdoor works. You are clearly incapable of seeing what is truly going on or flat out don’t care as long as you keep drawing a paycheck you don’t deserve.

Pros

Not quite sure what to add since Alliant it is not a very healthy place to work at.

Cons

If you are thinking about a career at Alliant, save yourself the headache: - the company gaslights employees when they bring concerns to the table and leadership doesn’t do anything about the issues - leadership is a joke and only worried about their paycheck - why do you think Alliant started responding to these comment sections because they are trying to hide the bad management - the company doesn’t care about diversity, they didn’t promote the DEI director, they don’t promote black, Asian and latinx talent into leadership (racist and ignorant) - you can’t trust leadership to push accountability - old school energy mindset - company write fake “good” reviews

Useless upper management

Pros

The bathrooms and lights on the building still work

Cons

The morale all over the company is just unreal. Absolutely no investment in the employees. I’ve been at alliant for 15 years and it’s amazing how terrible it has gotten. Company doesn’t even have a help desk. You have to call and leave a voice message. I worked at a 50 person company that had a help desk. We had an IT picnic a few months ago (first time in years) and was created because of the lack of employee morale. The CIO didn’t even show up lol The companies VP and General Council recently gave his notice. The person promoted to that position lasted about 2 weeks and then gave notice. This place is terrible. The only people left are the ones who have kids together and can’t get a position anywhere else. Don’t come to AE and expect to learn things. The top talent is gone.
