Poor management - Anonymous employee Alter Employee Review

They always give free water

They don't have free coke

Recently remodeled. Pets allowed. Other artists are friendly. If you drink, party, mingle, work late, and laugh at management's jokes, you should be okay.

Those in upper management and mid-management have assumed their roles without the ability to actually manage appropriately. Alter grew too big too fast and they simply can't handle the artists or their needs. There is little to no training, guidance, or overall leadership. To put it bluntly, It's a bunch of self appointed hacks pretending to have a functional company. Behind the facade are lies, deceit, greed, denial, and aggression, all of which affect the artists in the end. This is not a permanent job. This is a job to bang out a few neat projects, and then be on your way before you get trapped. They're always short on money, even though they're "so busy" all the time. TV shows and video games take up most of the day, and then they work late and brag about how hard they worked. Too many poorly-managed sample projects and too few actual projects help plague this once innovative company. Management will never take blame for anything, it always lands on the artist's lap. Have fun working late, working weekends, and then getting tossed to the curb if you speak up and defend your basic rights.
