Pros

Working in the French riviera, with sun, beach and good weather all year and the position is stable. Many people come here to stay here for life.

Cons

It's in France, and even on the job is in an English speaking company everyone tries to speak only French and you are never given a french language training.

Pros

The staff are quite responsive and professional. Following of the project is good. The people that I had contact with it were friendly

Cons

As a consulting company based on outsourcing of services, the career evolution is obviously poor and the formation related to the work in the clients could be improved.

Pros

ALTEN has been around for about 20 years so they have impressive exposure to most sectors. I'm in the telecoms division and there are quite a lot of opportunities, and they keep getting interesting projects. The projects themselves are also of great quality so it's technically rewarding to work on such projects when you are working on-site for the client. The managers also keep track of your evolution and are there when you need them on anything. The annual career-management is also well lead and the process is in place to ensure that things go well over a period of 5 years.

Cons

The flip-side of being at ALTEN is that because of their size, financial compensation is quite poor. I have seen some extremely competent (and experienced) engineers paid quite poorly compared to what they should be getting. There is also little to no reward if you do extra hours at a client's site or if you deliver more than the client expected, which is morally damaging.
