Pros
There's a 5 word minimum requirement so... The SIGH OF RELIEF at the end of the workday. Oh, and also free food*
Cons
Although my tenure at alliantgroup was short, I could write a novel on all of the cons working for alliantgroup presented. Let's start with the sheer lack of "transparency" during the interview process. I was told there were "trainings" every Tuesday and Thursday evening where "collaboration" and sharing "feedback" with one another would take place. This is far from the truth. I saw employees belittled and criticized if their "answer" wasn't exactly what the senior manager wanted to here. I was also NOT told that these "trainings" would last at times until 10 p.m. Are you for real? We all know that productivity drops as soon as the eighth hour of any given workday is approaching. It's almost like they want their employees to be so delirious after any given workday they'll wake up and do it all over again. That's exactly the control this company wants to have on it's workers and it's entirely apparent that this stems from the top down. The constant reply all emails were not only distracting from getting actual work done, but at many times distasteful coming from senior management and the CEO. On multiple occasions, I saw unprofessional memes and jargon. Now I understand why other reviewers compare the CEO and upper management of this company to "frat boy culture" and "the boys club." So distasteful. Let's talk about the working hours. 12-14 hours a day seemed to be the expectancy and norm, on top of being constantly available during after hours (which at that point is getting late into the evening hours). And let's not forget about working on the weekends. Yep, you get a laptop and company phone for a reason and you best be checking on your emails all weekend long. All this leads to and creates is a complete lack of respect for employee's lives outside of work and burnout. If you enjoy spending time on activities outside of your work life and have a family you'd like to go home to, forget about that happening at alliantgroup. They will take all your time and all your energy. Monday through Friday becomes a mere existence of sleep, eat, work, repeat. By the time the weekend rolls around I was at many times too exhausted and drained to even want to make plans. Back to the free food as mentioned above. There's no such thing as a free meal. They expect you to stay at your desk and work through your lunch . Every. Single. Day. I felt guilty and made to feel like I was doing something wrong if I needed to take a 15 minute mental break away from the work phone and computer. I'm writing this review as a working professional with several years of work experience at companies that treated me so much better than this. It seems that a lot of fresh out of college grads and people desperate for a job are scooped up by alliantgroup. Don't let yourself be one of those people. There ARE better companies out there who will treat you with respect and value your personal life. This company is not one of them. Moral of the story, learn from my mistake and do your homework and read the reviews before saying "I do." They'll try to reel you in with a seemingly decent salary and free meals, but upon realizing how many hours you'll actually be working, it's not even worth it.
