Pros

- Generous holiday calendar sitting around 20 per year. - Unlimited PTO plan can be nice if your manager is reasonable. - Lots of exposure to key players in the CLO/Hedge Fund space if you are client facing. - A lot of great people to work with, though they are leaving quickly now. - Work/life balance can be good if you advocate for yourself. If you do not, they will gladly work you to the bone. - Owned by a PE firm with a very successful track record.

Cons

- Pays well under market rate and acts as though market rates are ridiculous. - Annual raises ceased to keep up with inflation a few years back and pushing back is fruitless unless you have a competing offer in hand. - The CEO currently reported here on glassdoor (Mark Heimbouch) is no longer the CEO, that is outdated information. - Many middle managers are engineers who succeeded in that role and were then given people to manage with little to no management training. Some have run with it well, many have not. - Career growth for engineering roughly boils down to "hope your boss quits so you can get promoted". - Increasingly political culture where interaction between teams is often adversarial. - Meeting culture is heavy, by the time I left my average daily meeting time was over 4 hours. - The title is in jest. The concern of becoming overly corporate was raised during a company wide meeting and management dismissed it by asserting that we (the employees) have no idea what corporate looks like. - Reporting structure and upper management turnover results in a roadmap that is at best unclear. - Currently removing full work from home and monthly mental health day perks which were implemented during COVID. - Employee feedback from HR surveys seems to be completely ignored. - Seem to expect employees in Ukraine to function at full capacity during a war.

Pros

Allvue has a collaborative, fast paced culture built around smart, dedicated people who care about what they're building. There are real opportunities to make an impact, especially for those who are proactive and comfortable in a growing, evolving environment. What stands out most is the genuine commitment to innovation, collaboration and investing in talent and supporting employees at every level. As an industry leader in alternative investment software, the innovation happening here gives the work real purpose. This is a company where your contributions are noticed and your growth is taken seriously.

Cons

Like many companies that are growing and evolving, there are still opportunities to make processes more consistent and scalable across teams. The pace of change can be fast, which creates opportunity, but it also requires flexibility and comfort with ambiguity.

Pros

I really appreciate the ability to work remotely, as it provides flexibility and supports a healthy work-life balance. The company has also offered a flexible and generous approach to time off, which has been a valuable benefit. One of the things I value most is the trust my leaders place in my judgment when making decisions that help grow and improve our department. Leadership is supportive, approachable, and genuinely interested in providing the tools, training, and resources needed for career growth and continued education within the industry. I also appreciate that leaders are readily available to employees across the company. They are open, transparent, and willing to listen, which helps create a positive and collaborative work environment.

Cons

There are frequent changes and a high volume of information to absorb, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. At times, this can create uncertainty, especially when priorities or processes shift quickly. Overall, better pacing or clearer communication around changes could help employees feel more confident and prepared.
