There's no crying in baseball... - Anonymous employee AltaReturn Employee Review

I joined AltaReturn a year ago and I could not be happier with the decision. The company's technology is far more advanced than it's competitors and is able to compete on multiple levels because they offer integrated modules that add value to all of the teams that are vital to private equity, venture capital, real estate private equity and family office firms. These integrated applications help firms reduce potential errors related to accounting and investor relations as well as saving them tons of time that has traditionally been wasted moving from system to system or manually completing things. From all accounting entries including a true general ledger all the way to delivering distribution notices or capital calls to investors via automated email and/or investor portal while also allowing firms to track all potential investment opportunities and investors for fund raising activities. The system also enables our clients to get more from their data. All of the data is fed to a data warehouse that allows for easy professional quality reporting and ability to leverage Microsoft's Power BI for even more data sliding and dicing. The management team here has shown great leadership as well. They have a great long term vision for the path of the company but they also never lose site of the short term goals and do everything they can to support all of us in our day to day roles. They really enable and empower employees here to go out and do the best that they can each day.

The only negative I have encountered us that the system is so in depth and covers so many areas. We often have to bring in multiple teams from a firm because they realize that they are looking at a system that has value for more than just their individual team .

-some cool, good-natured people at low levels -good office location -good if you are fresh out of school and need to start at the bottom for something to put on the resume and then run to something that is bearable.

-training consists of throwing people in the deep end. if you are new and need help everyone is so overloaded with work they are frustrated to stop and help. if you need help they treat it as if you are incapable. they do not grow people, you are thrown to the wolves and if you can survive long enough to maintain then that is their growth culture. -pay is very sub par, not competitive at all especially considering the work environment/culture -there is ABSOLUTELY no positive culture. its a quiet stuffy office full of a handful of quiet stuffy superiors and then the remainder is meek lower level employees trying to maintain a semblance of sanity with the insane workload and being treated like a robot.
