Pros
- great people in non-leadership positions, who genuinely care about each other - flexible work schedule and remote since COVID-19 - there is work/life balance - strong professional development fund - RRSP matching - you get a lot of independence and the work is challenging
Cons
- the company requests feedback, then when given honest reviews (like some from this year) the response is to ask current employees to write more "honest" (aka: positive) reviews on here to counter. The problem is, that was an honest review that leadership and people and culture, should take seriously. - leadership lacks strong communication skills, has a hard time taking feedback and incorporating it. - Altus culture has been negatively impacted since moving remote, since a lot of our workplace culture was dependent on being in the same office and the majority of the people at Altus are genuinely amazing. Not a lot is being done about it aside from TinyPulse surveys currently, where feedback is seen as negative if it's not "everything is great!" - like any tech company, these cons are scaling problems, but the leadership team seems more interested in keeping a 4+ star rating instead of listening to the feedback and learning from the current team internally. - not a lot of growth opportunities - "we're all ops, we're all sales" - we were recently asked to "lean in" to whatever was asked of us, which caused a lot of pressure and unwarranted stress.
