High Quality Coworkers - Principal Planner Alta Planning + Design Employee Review

Everyone here is bought in and laser focused on the mission to improve our transportation infrastructure by creating better multimodal options for people to get where they want to go without driving. You won't meet a group of more inspired or passionate people about the work that we do. Beautiful downtown office space with stocked kitchen and amazing views. Flexible hybrid work environment, most people come in 2 days a week. Growth opportunity for high performers, if you work hard, your work will usually be recognized and opportunities will come. many leaders have been at the company and grown with it for a long time and are standard-bearers for the culture. constantly growing and adding headcount as well, the business is in good shape financially Truly a national firm so opportunities to work on projects and collaborate with experts in the field all over the country. Great PTO, wellness, bike, and commuter benefits.

The pace and nature of consulting isn't for everyone. Priorities and focus shift often, and you have to be adaptable and open to change

- Benefits are good and unique - Good PTO to start (22 days + 2 flex holidays, 9 holidays) - Wellness benefit and commenting benefit (up to $1,700 per year) are great. - Hybrid work schedule (2 in-office days, for now) - Work is fulfilling and very different than other companies - If you have the skillset, they will let you work across teams - the people are incredibly dynamic

- Owned by private equity - questionable management decisions from Trilon C Suite that filter down to Alta - Morale is a little low at times - Pushing RTO aggressively - too rigid with advancement opportunities - pay is below industry average, particularly in southeast - flexibility that managers had is going away with regard to work schedules and remote/hybrid
