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

Can get into working for a large company (not Alten because your a consultant but actually do work for another company) quite quickly. Health insurance is quite good. If you can learn quickly with little help you can learn a lot in a short space of time

Cons

MISLEADING PAY, they will tell you your salary including the expenses making it seem much higher than it is. This is extremely misleading and they hire mostly graduates who don't know that this is NOT NORMAL. Fixed expenses are questionable in its legality. The bussiness managers and senior project leaders are so far disconected from the actual goings on, then make decisions that will negatively impact the team and are suprised when there is push back from the engineers. Non-comptete with questionable legality. Barely any training, and you need to spend lots of time chasing your career manager to actually get you onto the training. False promises for social events for the team, for example the christmas event got cancelled and a make up event promised which has not happened or even been hinted at. Extremely high employee turnover, most people leave after 1-2 years and I can see why. So focussed to recruitment to replace people leaving, that they have forgotten about who tehy already have onboard Below market rate salary. Not very diverse in terms of women employed, the only women I know in Alten have left or are about to They ask you work unpaid overtime to "show you commitement to the company"

Pros

Nothing good about the company! Management is terrible! They force you to work hours.

Cons

It is a really stressful company. I developed many medical issues due to the stress from this place. Mentally and physically. No career opportunities! All lie! They just say "You are good" but no promotion!
