      Pros

      Learn lots on the job; work as part of supportive co-workers; no dress code/laid-back work environment; work on meaningful/interesting topics; approachable leadership; room for initiative and improving existing processes; small company & no bureaucratic inefficiency.

      Cons

      Time demanding job with senior staff working long hours; salary non reflective of employee value; hectic human resource management; male-led senior management; stressed colleagues (management failing to implement its "happy at work" slogan); HR department siding with leadership rather than employees

      Growing firm, good colleagues, poor HR

      Pros

      It's a good place to work; the people are great, and you learn a ton on the job. You get to team up with really smart and dedicated people on their projects. The public sector work is meaningful, and they give you a lot to do right away.

      Cons

      The company offers extremely limited benefits, and despite its rapid growth, this hasn't resulted in improved compensation. There are no bonuses, no insurance, and minimal maternity benefits and pension contribution, with snacks being the only tangible benefit. The previously flat structure is being replaced by increasingly rigid, top-down hierarchies. Poor line management but that's not surprising as managers get 15 minutes a week for management, with all HR decisions flowing down from the CEO. Employee turnover is alarmingly high, yet the company shows little concern. While open forums for feedback are encouraged, critical comments are suppressed in private, with an almost cult-like circle of devotion around the CEO.

      We thank you for taking the time to provide detailed feedback, it’s genuinely appreciated. We did want to correct one point, because it's an area we're genuinely proud of rather than weak on: maternity provision. Benefits differ by country, but ours are deliberately generous, and on every benchmark we've seen, that places us in the top 5% of employers. We would want anyone reading to have that context and gently push back on the idea that maternity benefits at Alma are minimal.

      The worst place I've ever worked at

      Pros

      Snacks in the communal kitchen

      Cons

      Authoritarian organisational culture of fear and secrecy. Expectation to be available 24/7. Micromanagement. Employing mainly young people who are too afraid to speak out.

      Thank you for the feedback. We're responding because the picture painted here is fundamentally at odds with how Alma works day to day, and we think readers deserve that context. The claim that staff are expected to be available 24/7 is simply not how we operate. Our policies are explicit: employees are not expected to check email or be reachable outside working hours. In rare, genuinely exceptional situations we may need to reach out — but that is the limit of it, not a norm.
