Pros

As a first working experience it could be a good starting point, but maybe not even in that case you would feel very happy about it. The health care support is good, but it's the only good thing you can receive there.

Cons

So many cons that shouldn't be in a company you would like to work for: - they lied about salaries and cost of life in the area (not just to me: many colleagues fell into the same situation), making you accept a very low salary - they will force the renewal of trial period, making you "smell" the dismissal if you don't accept - no support from the management (in 1y I've been working for them I've seen my manager just twice and one was the same day I signed the contract and I've been introduced to the client) - they try to restrict in any way possible the days of vacation and RTT, forcing you to loose at least 5 days per year - no appraisal for your work: within the client, I've been appraised till gaining a better role than I entered, while Alten refused to rise the salary, nor giving benefits. If you join Alten, do it because you have no alternatives, and start looking for another position as soon as possible.

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
