Pros

Smart and capable junior staff

Cons

Unprofessional and toxic work environment; selfish and untrustworthy management; backstabbing is accepted practice. No mentors or leaders, only managers. Performance is not rewarded.

Thank you for taking the time to review your experience at Altus Group. At Altus, our leaders are industry professionals who lead our high trust, high performance teams. We support the ongoing development of Altus leaders with training programs designed to help them support their employees’ performance and well-being. The positive impact of their management is reflected in our annual employee engagement survey, which indicates a year-over-year increase in employees’ trust in their managers. In addition, many of our processes at Altus Group are standardized to create an equitable experience for our team members globally. Our performance management system holds all our staff accountable against the same rubric to ensure fair and equitable performance review and award, which is modelled on pay-for-performance. Our inclusive workplace practices ensure all employees are treated with respect and we are concerned to hear you feel your experience was not aligned with our commitments to our employees. Your review does not sound consistent with our workplace practices and we encourage you to reach out to internalcommunications@altusgroup.com to discuss with our human resources business partners.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We value your comments and are glad to see you enjoyed the flexibility and work-life balance enabled through our Activity-Based Work Model. Changes to team structure are not taken lightly and are made based on the evolving needs of the business and our clients and not a reflection of the commitment of the impacted individuals, or of the organization’s commitment to our employees. The roles we eliminated were out of scope with our annual strategic objectives and we have a duty to our internal and external stakeholders to fulfill our commitments. At Altus, we’re committed to providing our people with the tools, resources and development opportunities they need to make their mark and grow their careers. In 2025, we celebrated 290 internal promotions. If you’d like to discuss your experience in further detail, please email us at internalcommunications@AltusGroup.com and we’d be happy to facilitate a meeting with our HR Business Partners.

Pros

Great benefits, flexible working conditions, co-workers were great, plenty of opportunities to grow

Cons

Seems to be selling off most of its divisions, raises and bonuses were disappointing/often below a cola even with high scoring reviews, concerns about frequent changes in senior leadership.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Altus Group. We’re glad you valued our benefits, flexible working model and career opportunities. Altus Group is guided by a senior leadership team comprised of experienced professionals dedicated to navigating the changing landscape of our industry. The divestitures of legacy professional services are part of a value creation plan, announced at Investor Day in November 2025, to simplify our organization and sharpen our focus on our software and data business. Our comprehensive rewards programs leverage industry data to ensure our employees receive fair and equitable compensation, which also offers perks like company matching for our share purchase program, a Take What You Need unlimited vacation policy, and discounts and memberships. If you’d like to discuss your experience, please email us at internalcommunications@AltusGroup.com and we’d be happy to facilitate a meeting with our HR Business Partners.
