What is the hiring process like at Atos?

no reason to share any nice feedback

There is not trust in the company, hiring managers are not honest and they are destroying top performers' career -path. Do not believe in any local-global programs to get better role in the company, and forget about the good salary.

-flexible program -understanding teams -easy recruitment process

-hiding the procedures for extra payments or salary increases -not given the raises promised -not mindful to the employee's health -as soon as health problem disclosed, they try to find another person

The actual job itself is pretty easy if repetitive (although figuring out systems/procedures can take time for reasons given below), standard call centre affair, with the customers phoning in being generally pretty amenable. Location of office makes for a short commute for those in the city centre.

Training is extremely short compared to similar roles elsewhere (>1 week before being put on live calls), and does not cover nearly enough of the job to prepare newcomers properly. Even then, the materials the trainers did have for training usually didn't last a full 8-hour shift, so the last hour or two of each day was spent doing like... random pop quizes and the like off the internet in groups. A bit of fun at the time, sure, but incredibly frustrating to look back on a few months in when the penny really dropped on how ill-prepared it made our training group. A quite "cliquey" culture, any issues or questions posed to team leaders / management tended to be deflected, brushed over, or scheduled for discussion in a one-to-one meeting that would never happen. Management / team leaders didn't seem on the same page - often giving contradictory advice/instructions to each other which uneccesarily complicated things a lot. Also generally condescending/unhelpful: the issue with training meant I often heard "this would have been covered in your training" when broaching an issue that definitely was not with somebody who was also not involved with the training at all. I was hired through an agency, and it came out that some peers who joined at the same time as I did through a different agency were being paid more for the exact same position. The way I would often hear people talk about the customers phoning in (especially those with vulnerabilities or bereavements) really shocked me, overhearing a lot of nasty little asides and outright berating people on the phone lead to a pretty bleak working atmosphere. Overall, this is definitely the worst place I have worked. Based on bits of information mentioned in team meetings throughout my employment and the general attitude / culture of the place, it really seems like the recruitment drive I joined during was more about being seen to be hiring people for fodder during an upcoming busy period than any interest in proper long-term growth for the company or individuals. I was there for six months, I was one of two people from my original training group left by then, and it really was horrid from start to finish. There are a lot of call centres elsewhere in Glasgow: definitely go to them if you are considering this role.

easy laid bnack, good interview process

fully remote, so getting to know team is tough

Quick interview process - 2 rounds.

Pay is below market rate and there's not much room for growth.

Very easy straight forward job

Unorganized when it comes to management. One week we have one project then the next week they will decide to change the project. Seems like they enjoy making the job more difficult than it is. Hiring process is the worst as well

The friends you make on the grad scheme that are going through the same process

Management is atrocious No communication between colleagues

Nice work environment with good people. You get a variety of experience at the company and good for early development.

They will con you out of a promotion as soon as possible in order to save money. They will reluctantly promote you, but with a massive promotion salary cap, with extensive responsibilities. Yet they hire new people with less experience to the company on much higher grades and salaries.

Offers a promising start for individuals at the beginning of their careers due to its extensive client base.

However, the challenges in internal processes and the apparent preference for new hires over existing staff's growth may pose obstacles for those seeking long-term career advancement within the company.

There was a lot of room for salary growth for young professionals stepping into Atos. Flexible hybrid work environment. A lot of people worked from home. Professional development options readily available within my team.

There were not many young people, or diversity in general, in my department. A lot of the employees have been disillusioned working for Atos, this often leads to new employees being scared off. People over the age of 35 do not have good salary increases available to them in the same way as young professionals within the company do. A lot of expectations for overtime work without good compensation. The team I was in was overworked and yet still behind with client work whilst Atos was still accepting new clients for our team, but not hiring new people or increasing the budget for new employees. Disheartening for employees.
