Pros
Free lunch, great wellness coordinator, nice building, fun parties, everyone is young and therefore become good friends
Cons
The pros absolutely in no way outweigh the cons. All of the below are facts. No exaggeration, no extenuating circumstances - facts. -alliantgroup has hundreds of employees in the Houston office and has been in business for 18 years, maybe 25 people have been there longer than 5 years. I'd estimate over half of all employees do not make it to the 2 year mark. I know this because they celebrate work anniversaries for every single employee. -I worked there for a year and a half and I don't know a single woman that did not cry during a meeting at some point due to exhaustion, frustration, or intense criticism. They wear you down so they can "build you up" -Cult-like loyalty to the company is expected. During my time there a set of roommates were fired because the 3rd roommate quit and that created a conflict of interest. -alliantgroup almost exclusively hires new college graduates. This is clearly because without a family to get home to or any experience in a normal work environment, they can get employees to work crazy hours and they wont realize the culture is abnormal. -You will be expected to work 8:30 AM - 6:30 PM without a lunch. During tax season, leaving at 8:00 PM is considered early. If you want a promotion, you'll be expected to come early and stay late beyond even those hours. -The positive reviews written here are made by people trying to get promoted or senior management -I'd estimate 75% of current employees are actively looking for another job -You will be forced to work towards a promotion after around 6 months, if you don't you will be forced out. You will be expected to actively switch to the next role indefinitely before earning the title/pay. Getting promoted even at the lowest level is an extensive process including weekly meetings, presentations, and endless pointless tasks. Promotion is not based on technical proficiency or whether you're good at the job, its based on buy in- are you truly loyal to alliantgroup and willing to jump through the hoops
