Pros
I agree with many of the pros already mentioned in the reviews below. If you’re willing to learn, work hard and take ownership of your projects, you’ll have a great experience at AltAssets. I began as an intern, working my way up to Client Relationship Manager. Yes, it was challenging at first. There’s little formal training. But you’re expected to drive your own learning and take ownership of the projects you handle. You have a wide range of resources around you – a knowledgeable, friendly team and experienced leadership. The autonomy also makes it more enjoyable – you solve problems, come up with new ideas and ultimately, see the impact you’re having on your area of the business. It’s also a very meritocratic environment. The leadership team prides itself on recognizing people who are performing well and rewarding them. The team is also great! Young, fun and sociable.
Cons
Don’t think you can get away with doing nothing or palm your work off onto others. This isn’t a corporate! It’s a small company, everyone is expected to contribute and take responsibility for their projects. When I left, the majority of our team had this mentality and we achieved a lot together.
