Pros

ALTEN has been around for about 20 years so they have impressive exposure to most sectors. I'm in the telecoms division and there are quite a lot of opportunities, and they keep getting interesting projects. The projects themselves are also of great quality so it's technically rewarding to work on such projects when you are working on-site for the client. The managers also keep track of your evolution and are there when you need them on anything. The annual career-management is also well lead and the process is in place to ensure that things go well over a period of 5 years.

Cons

The flip-side of being at ALTEN is that because of their size, financial compensation is quite poor. I have seen some extremely competent (and experienced) engineers paid quite poorly compared to what they should be getting. There is also little to no reward if you do extra hours at a client's site or if you deliver more than the client expected, which is morally damaging.

Pros

Big company with a lot of resources and many benefits for employees. They let you do your work and respect you as professional.

Cons

Sometimes management is too distant. Specially when doing outsourcing, you can fell alone and not as informed as you would like to be.

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.
