ALTEN reviews

Thank you for your review. We are striving to create a collaborative and inspiring environment for all our employees so I am sorry to hear about your experience. As a fast growing organisation, it is important for us to receive feedback in order to improve our processes and work environment. This is why I would like to address a few of the topics mentioned in your review. At Alten Ltd we are very much aware that we owe our past and future successes to our employees. This is why we put an important focus on our people, from the on-boarding when newcomers have a weekly follow-up with their manager to provide them with the means, tools and advice to succeed in their role. We ensure regular one to one meetings between every employee and their manager once the induction period is completed. The essence of our approach is to offer long-term opportunities, so that the people can develop and grow within the company, this is why we predominantly offer permanent contracts, or fixed-term contracts like V.I.E programme, that are then converted into permanent ones. In addition, as mentioned in a previous review, Alten is continuously ensuring a relevant alignment between our salary policy and the UK market. This alignment is performed through the continuous collaboration of our Recruitment and HR teams. As every company, Alten has indeed put in place some rules and processes that need to be applied, but as part of our continuous improvement approach, we are always opened to innovative ideas and our capacity to adapt is actually one of our biggest strengths. Then obviously we cannot constantly change our processes, especially when they have proven their efficiency. Finally I would like to tackle one more serious allegation: racism/focus on certain nationalities. Alten is an Equal Opportunity Employer and we are actually proud to have a very multicultural company in the UK with more than 35 nationalities in our teams. Our selection criteria in any recruitment process are based on the people’s skills (technical and soft skills), experience and potential. Your review tells me that: Although Alten is striving to make sure all necessary messages, processes and policies are communicated on the most accurate way, it seems important to keep on getting better at it, and ensure people feel fulfilled in the work environment. Thank you for your contribution and feedback. Please rest assured that we are committed to continuously improve the robustness of our structure.
