No recognition. Commitment only works on one direction: from the consultant to Alten
Pros
Friendly managers said to be available to help with anything*. Team building activities (although I think this is a normal thing to have, not necessarily an advantage or disadvantage).
Cons
Managers will not help in case we want a fair salary. Slightly aggressive behavior to be expected, if you do so. Prepare to have Alten comparing itself to "worse companies" (not a positive attitude at all). Poor trainings. They choose the cheapest trainings to offer their consultants. You can propose trainings (nothing prevents you), but good luck. There is a chance they will be "very expensive" and therefore discarded (normally with some cheap excuse). The only possibility of raising the salary is once a year (on the anniversary of your contract). No recognition. Alten expects commitment, respect and loyalty from you... But you should not make the mistake of expecting the same in return.
