Pros

- Friendly Hr teams. - Moving cities.

Cons

- No career development - Not long term contracts - so will likely last up to 6 months. - No difference with agency, freelance projects - Only thing is that Alten takes a huge sum of your pay. - All big company promised are just advert - No project even after you sign contract, going to be on the bench for a while. - You are a just back-up staff at clients site, and you are employed to do roles their Full-term employees don't want to do. - No career progression. Stay away only if you want a 1st ever job.

Pros

Salary based on your experience and how you will deal with them. Paid STM(40%) monthly pass.

Cons

Cheap on paying for different standard events like presentations. Insurance you pay and is very basic-limited. Slow reply from HRin case you need anything. Sick days are not defined in the contact. So you can or not be paid. French speaking company along with its french clients. Workload depends on project. However, in my case almost everyday I was overhelmed with tasks and this was considered as something normal.

Pros

Good work life balance. However, the work-life balance is not due to Alten is related to the client to which the engineer is committed.

Cons

On average, an engineer is heavily underpaid, really poor benefits, no career development, absolute lack of commitment from a management point of view. The worst aspect is related to the roles, quite often the proposed positions sound interesting but are all smoke to attract engineer. The job opportunities they brag about are all fake or mocked-up on purpose. The management has no interest in the quality of the hiring process without any care on who is hired or where they are employed; the consequence is often the total mismatch between roles and skills. They do not make the interest of the client nor the interest of the employees. When people manifest unrest Alten uses either to lie faking fancy changes that end up with similar positions or, in some more problematic cases, to harass peoples.
