Pros

- Good place to learn if you're an intern or don't have any experience

Cons

- Toxic culture of fear, disrespect, dishonesty, and mistrust - Preaches good values but ignores them and allows bad behavior to go unaddressed - CEO often promises bonuses but does not pay them when due - Unqualified employees work here because they're relatives of the leadership team - No proper performance reviews or feedback, and thus no regular pay raises - Company abuses employees of foreign origin because it controls their visa and knows they can't complain Do not take any of the above at face value, reach out to former employees on Linkedin and discuss each point with them. Their experience may vary but will give you good info about working at Algo. Current employees are too afraid to speak out or tell the truth due to fear of losing their job. The rest of the overly positive reviews here are coerced when the company asked employees to leave reviews and would follow up until you did. Do your research before joining this company.

Pros

Work/life balance Company pays 100% benefit premiums Growth opportunities No politics CEO is supportive and a visionary Working in emerging supply chain industry

Cons

No cons about Algo. Our mgt team is supportive and provides every opportunity for people who are not meeting expectations to improve performance, but sometimes team members are not able to raise their quality of work and end up leaving the company which is probably the disgruntled former employee who recently wrote a negative review

Pros

They are a growing company and recently publicly announced another acquisition.

Cons

There is no formal onboarding in place and most managers do not meet with staff, not even new ones. Many email go unanswered. It was very frustrating working there.
