Altus Group reviews about "people"

Not much of cons i have seen in this company

Management has no real experience in a tech firm. They all came from the consulting world. Specifically KPMG. And they’re just clueless

Work can be repetitive sometimes.

-Lots of changes in management -Lack of performance reviews

Salary can be tough but it is more of a market problem

You will have multiple bosses and people telling you what to do, so brace for that. Moreover, some people in more senior roles don’t seem all that qualified—you often don’t really understand their purpose in the team, as they’re just there to assign tasks without offering any real leadership. That said, there are a few managers who are genuinely good at what they do and decent people to work with—but unfortunately, they’re in the minority. While the team might seem friendly at first, the atmosphere can feel fake. And when things go wrong, it’s usually the junior staff who take the blame, while senior folks avoid responsibility. Promotions do happen eventually, but only when the company really needs you to fill a gap—like when you’re managing multiple clients and the team can’t function without you. Otherwise, they’ll delay it as long as possible. When they see you performing well, their usual move is to pile on more work, not give a raise or show any real appreciation. The pay is below industry standards, especially considering the amount of responsibility and manual work involved. Raises are rare, and even promotions don’t always come with a meaningful salary bump. If you're expecting competitive compensation for your effort, you’ll likely be disappointed. Even when they’re hiring for so-called entry-level roles, they usually want candidates with around 1–2 years of experience and try to sell the company as some elite, professional place during interviews. But the day-to-day reality is very different. Most of the job is repetitive and manual—checking valuation models, inputting data, cleaning files. You’ll end up doing the dull, tedious tasks that consultants offload, often while they scroll through social media. And no one really tracks who does what, so your effort likely won’t be acknowledged. On top of that, the review process is inconsistent and rushed, so even major mistakes can easily slip through to the client. The company positions itself as tech-driven, but the only truly valuable product is Argus Enterprise, which is already widely used in the industry. What they call “Software as a Service” is really just a bunch of manual tasks done offshore—mostly in India—then reviewed in places like Luxembourg or the U.S. The processes behind it all are so disorganized that the final output often ends up full of errors.

Haphazard management, frequent layoffs, poor vision.

Not much room for growth - need to have more technical education to advance
