Pros

Not much.... Its a job.

Cons

Working at Altisource was an increasingly frustrating and unsustainable experience. The company suffers from poor management, questionable executive leadership, and constant layoffs that create a culture of fear and instability. Every year, conditions get worse—not better. There are no meaningful pay raises or promotions, despite consistently increasing workloads. Employees are expected to do the work of 5–6 roles with no additional compensation, recognition, or support. Overwork is not the exception—it’s the expectation. Work-life balance is essentially nonexistent. There is an unspoken requirement to be available from 6am to 10pm, bring your laptop on weekends and vacations, and regularly work 80+ hours per week. None of this comes with overtime, appreciation, or acknowledgment. Compensation is well below market for the level of responsibility expected. Employees are overworked, underpaid, and stretched thin until burnout is inevitable. The benefits are also misleading. Health insurance in the U.S. is extremely expensive, with very high deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums—often costing more than comparable plans available independently through state or government marketplaces. Calling it a “benefit” feels like a stretch. Executive decisions—particularly at the CEO level—often feel disconnected from reality and negatively impact employees on the ground. Morale continues to decline as leadership fails to address the core issues driving turnover. If you value stability, fair pay, career growth, real benefits, or any form of work-life balance, this is not the place.

Pros

Work/life balance Salary amount was very fair (especially with month bonus incentive) Excellent co-workers Remote career My supervisor was extremely accomodating for work while overseas traveling

Cons

In recent years, the stock price and revenues has been a reason for concern (Govt foreclosure restrictions/moratoriums took a serious toll) but it appears Mgmnt is turning things around. In the PAST, layoffs would come unexpectedly which was a bit jarring.

Pros

Really enjoyed to people I got to work with.

Cons

Overworked with crazy hours. Had team members in Luxembourg, Uruguay, and India. Having direct reports in India meant I had to be available during hours that were the exact opposite of those in my time zone.
