Constant Mess

Pros

Flexible work schedule. Unlimited PTO.

Cons

Still dealing with so much unnecessary “corporate” rules since Black Mountain Systems merged with AltaReturn to form Allvue, The original company (BMS) was such a joy to work at. Now everything is political and business models for each department change weekly and most employees have no idea what’s going on. (Security/laptop permissions change all the time but there’s not enough IT staff to help on immediate notice for example). Client relationships are continuing to decline since we were acquired by Vista. A lot of the “OG” BMS employees are starting to leave. (Note: most employees average working at BMS for 6 years. Now the turnover rate averages to one year). Pay is low but you are expected to do the job of multiple people.

Definitely Not Corporate

Pros

- Generous holiday calendar sitting around 20 per year. - Unlimited PTO plan can be nice if your manager is reasonable. - Lots of exposure to key players in the CLO/Hedge Fund space if you are client facing. - A lot of great people to work with, though they are leaving quickly now. - Work/life balance can be good if you advocate for yourself. If you do not, they will gladly work you to the bone. - Owned by a PE firm with a very successful track record.

Cons

- Pays well under market rate and acts as though market rates are ridiculous. - Annual raises ceased to keep up with inflation a few years back and pushing back is fruitless unless you have a competing offer in hand. - The CEO currently reported here on glassdoor (Mark Heimbouch) is no longer the CEO, that is outdated information. - Many middle managers are engineers who succeeded in that role and were then given people to manage with little to no management training. Some have run with it well, many have not. - Career growth for engineering roughly boils down to "hope your boss quits so you can get promoted". - Increasingly political culture where interaction between teams is often adversarial. - Meeting culture is heavy, by the time I left my average daily meeting time was over 4 hours. - The title is in jest. The concern of becoming overly corporate was raised during a company wide meeting and management dismissed it by asserting that we (the employees) have no idea what corporate looks like. - Reporting structure and upper management turnover results in a roadmap that is at best unclear. - Currently removing full work from home and monthly mental health day perks which were implemented during COVID. - Employee feedback from HR surveys seems to be completely ignored. - Seem to expect employees in Ukraine to function at full capacity during a war.

A company that just lost its soul

Pros

- There is definitely a lot of expansion happening, and I know the company will do well from a financial side of things. - There are still a lot of great people at the company that are holding on during the tumultuous times that give relief from the current internal mess - The company is actively working to expand its Diversity and Inclusion with women's networks, LGBTQ + minority teams, and more

Cons

- Employee happiness is graded on some industry standard scale. It seems that the executive team pats themselves on the back for groups that rate highly, and like to talk about making changes for those who don't, but do not follow through with any of the changes - Internal processes are steered by decisions made by an investment company that has no insight into how the business is run. Decisions are made blindly regardless of if the change will help with company efficiency - Employees are no longer empowered to help company growth as all teams are almost completely blinded to other teams within the organization. Collaboration and innovation do not seem to be values - Constant fears of overly corporate culture and bureaucracy are never soothed. Instead, there is a sentiment of "this isn't corporate, you don't even know what corporate is" shared by most of the executive team - In the vein of being too corporate, we're supposed to know the company mission statement and... "rallying cry"... by heart. Note: We haven't been in an office because of COVID to prove if this is true or not, but the exec team is supposed to quiz us on those any time they want
