Pros

There is nothing good at this company

Cons

- Poor management - No communication - No support - pay less than the market average - regularly attempt to break contract with employees (once the contract of employment is signed, they can't change your start date if you don't agree to it - don't get bullied into it if you find yourself in that position) - don't pay full salary if not on a project (£3000 of annual salary is made up from "no question" asked expense that is only accessible when on project) - management gaslighting their own staff - regularly uses visa sponsorship to take advantage of international employees - will leave consultants to pick up the pieces if a contract falls through - management disillusioned to what clients and people in industry actually think of Alten - unqualified people in management positions - if working on a "time and money" project, then there is no infrastructure for support at all if working in a new field and/or software - no financial support (hotel costs, fuel, etc) if working for a client 100's of miles away

Pros

Working at this company has been a truly positive experience for me. It’s a place where I’ve been able to learn and develop my skills, and I really appreciate that they invest in my growth by paying for my certifications. I’m also involved in special projects with high added value, which has had a strong impact on my career development. What makes the biggest difference for me is the way they support me as a mom. Having the option to work remotely when needed is extremely important, and it’s something we rarely find elsewhere. I’ve never felt judged for being a mother—quite the opposite. They understand my responsibilities at home while ensuring that the client is always satisfied. This balance means a lot to me, and it makes me feel valued both as an employee and as a person. Overall, I’m truly grateful to be part of a company that invests in my future, trusts me with meaningful work, and respects my personal needs.

Cons

Due to the global economic situation, salary increases and bonuses have been impacted.
