      Pros

      The only pro was some great colleagues who were nice and friendly and the only reason why this review has 2 stars.

      Cons

      The company culture is very French and not aligned with the UK market. Communication style of the senior management team, mandatory in-office days with no flexibility, strict dress codes, and working hours until 18.00. As such people are leaving in record numbers, and they have a problem retaining staff. Adding to this are financial difficulties and they have now had redundancy rounds for months in front and back office.

      Pros

      You get excellent exposure to household name engineering companies. There is no shortage of things to work on (both a pro and a con). The people are generally lovely and have a good sense of teamwork. It’s a good place to get engineering experience and skills. My advice for recent graduates is to leverage this: join the company, learn lots, get some engineering experience in. Opportunities for moving up are decent if you’re a high caliber engineer - but that is due to a high turnover rate (see cons).

      Cons

      The first and largest downside to working at Alten is the salary. It is low for the UK. Salary increases for stellar performances are low. Working for the OEMs you are a consultant for would net you a higher salary. Tenures tend to be short. Most people don’t seem to stay longer than 2 years. As mentioned in the pros, there is no shortage of work, which means you will be busy and there will be very few breaks in terms of workload. It’s a fast-paced environment with little time for respite. Due to not being an OEM, the company culture felt very corporate and clinical. There was no feeling of pride for working for Alten, whereas working for OEMs will involve a better culture.

      Pros

      The interview process is good they are fast at letting you know whether they want you or not You will work in a high profile company like Rolls-Royce Airbus and other big company which is good for your CV. You get to meet a lot of European people with alten

      Cons

      Alten manager loves to give a lot of promise but they never keep it. the pay is horrible the salary increase max 1% per year. They take out of your holiday 3/4 days while the customer has more holidays they will never train you even when you need it for the job they don't care about you as you are a money making machine you are treated as a second class citizen by the customer all the jobs you are given by the customer are that the customer doesn't want to spend time on it as they have better things to do. the worst Christmas party, they take you in an okay place you pay all the transport and taxi at the end the food fishes without you have eaten
