Growing firm, good colleagues, poor HR - Anonymous employee Alma Economics Employee Review

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.

Alma Economics Response

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.

Pros

A great group of people make this a special place. They are experts at what they do, and it’s lovely working with them. A lot of learning on the job, but very interesting work overall and a good roster of clients and third sector organisations. There are also nice social events here and there.

Cons

The responsibilities and ownership come on day one. It can get intense and there is strict project management, if you don’t like that then this is not the place for you.
