Pros

Fika happens occasionally at work.

Cons

I would not recommend working at this company based on my experience. I faced unprofessional, disrespectful, and at times discriminatory (racist) treatment, which made the work environment toxic and uncomfortable. One of the major issues I encountered was the relocation process. I was not informed or promised a relocation package by my manager, and it was only through colleagues that I learned such a package around 10,000 to 15,000 SEK should have been provided. Despite this, I had to cover significant expenses on my own, including travel and temporary accommodation. After three months, my manager unexpectedly informed me that my contract would be terminated. During this time, I didn’t receive any support, and no effort was made to help me transition or find another position within the company, despite having gone through the interview process initially. The company operates on a "hire and fire" basis, terminating employees before the six-month probation period ends if they don’t secure a permanent position. This creates a constant sense of instability and uncertainty, making it a difficult and stressful environment to work in. They also have a practice of hiring new employees only to terminate them before their contract can move to permanent, which appears to be part of their business model. Additionally, the salary was significantly lower compared to similar roles at other companies, making the position less competitive and discouraging for skilled professionals. Overall, the lack of support, poor communication, failure to honor commitments, discriminatory behavior, and low salary made my experience at this company deeply disappointing.

Pros

I have been with the company for several years and have had a very positive experience overall. The company offers strong opportunities for career growth, especially for employees who are proactive, take ownership, and consistently deliver results. Internal mobility and leadership opportunities are available for those looking to advance their careers. Compensation is competitive within the industry, and performance is generally recognized and rewarded. While there is always room for improvement, I feel that the company provides fair compensation and good opportunities to increase earnings through career progression. Management is supportive and accessible. As with any growing organization, I have found leadership to be committed to employee development and business success. There is a strong entrepreneurial culture that encourages initiative and accountability. One of the biggest strengths of the company is the variety of projects and clients. Employees have the opportunity to work across different industries, technologies, and business environments, which helps accelerate professional development and keeps the work interesting. Pros: * Strong career development opportunities * Diverse and challenging projects * Supportive and entrepreneurial culture * Exposure to a wide range of industries and clients Overall, I would recommend this company to professionals looking for growth, responsibility, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Cons

Fast-paced environment that requires adaptability High expectations for performance and ownership

Pros

4+ years as a Business Manager at Alten, starting in Paris and now based in California and I have zero regrets. The career growth is real. You're given autonomy, your efforts are recognized, and the opportunities follow if you put in the work. The company has the network and the scale to open doors that others can't. Highly recommend for anyone ambitious and looking to build something long-term.

Cons

Fast-paced environment, not for everyone
