Pros

Permanent contract from the beginning.

Cons

They hire you with a permanent contract. Then have some toy projects to let you play inside the company and pay you a basic salary. If they find an assignment for you, you go to the customer company to work there, otherwise you stay at Alten playing with the toy project that they don't really care about. Everything feels nice and safe, then one day, your manage tells you that they want you to leave because they can't find assignment for you. That is what happened to me, three years ago, but I am still angry when thinking about the shock I had.

Pros

Nice people in all departments and sites + nice facilities.

Cons

The environment is very chaotic. Employee utilization (billable hours) is what is valued most and you work for Sales people as an engineer (they are your supervisor!). The idea is that you are a revenue source for them and as such, they are incentivized to keep engaging you on whatever work they can find for you. Using mostly foreign labor that is captive in the US on a work Visa (primarily from France and Sweden) is the business model, and it works for some people, but I found it quite deceiving to customers and it made me sad how low the pay was for my non-US citizen peers. They worked just as hard as me, but were paid a fraction - and my pay was just below industry averages.
