Altegrity Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Altegrity

Pros – Altegrity is a company that has a lot of good growth potential. Their middle management staff is strong and comitted to advancing the company and treating their employees well.

Cons – Senior management seems to lack the ability to guide the company and make sound decisions. There are too many levels of executive management all going their own direction. The focus of the company seems to be cut costs at the expense of employee satisfaction and hope the business turns around.

Advice to Senior Management – Provide a solid direction and lead the company. The people there have the ability to get the work done, but are lacking a vision for the future. The business units are undermining the company as a whole by going in so many different directions.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Altegrity full-time

Pros – Great collection of operating companies, many with leading market positions and great employees.

Cons – Providence Equity is sucking the life out of the company. Canceling 401k matches, deferring merit, freezing hiring, etc. Not really a great way to grow value. Corporate and board leadership are exceptionally weak, especially the team hired in the last year. The primary board member is an idiot savant. He's really an idiot but thinks he's a savant.

Advice to Senior Management – Resign while there's still hope.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Altegrity full-time for more than a year

Pros – Fantastic paid time-off policy: you generally start at 3 weeks of vacation and work up to 5 weeks of vacation after 5 years PLUS 5 sick days.

Cons – "Merit" pay increases have nothing to do with your actual performance, but rather a standard "accross the board" percentage for everyone (even the poor performers get rewarded).
Interested in advancement/promotion? Only those who have worked with the executives/VP's at previous companies get promotions and/or advancement opportunities. If you don't fit that criteria, but want to have any hope of advancement, become a senior VP's "yes" man/woman (preferably man).
The benefits are poor (at best). Each year the quality of medical coverage decreases while the cost to employee increases.
There is a lot of uncertainty about the company and its future among employees (mainly due to lack of communication of strategy/vision from senior management).
Poor employee morale.

Current Employee – been working at Altegrity full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – It is hard to come up with any pros for this company since it is sinking fast

Cons – - Huge lack of leadership at the top and poor communications to employees

- Whenever they want to save a little money they look to see what benefits they can cut. The latest is no 401k match which is supposed to only last 6 months. The reality is the employees will likely never see a match again.

- Poor benefits

- Poor organizational structure

- Owned by private equity

- anybody that speaks up is escorted out of the door

- Low ethics. One of the core values is supposed to be Integrity but that is a joke.
