Pros

Work with some of the large names in each sector eg Airbus, RR

Cons

Awful working environment - I have worked in four organizations prior to Alten and I am amazed at how people in higher management can look at what they have created with anything but embarrassment. It still surprises me how after all these negative glassdoor reviews there's nothing done about it. The only positive ones are from the 'Recruiters', who need to improve the ratings otherwise no one will join them! The turnover of staff, whether that be recruitment, Business Manager, or Engineers is insanely high! The business model is recruiting hardworking, motivated individuals on the promise of a huge career, but they all leave after 6 - 10 months as they soon realise they hate the working environment.

Pros

Easy to get hire. Company sponsors visa and helps you in migration task. Overtime is paid

Cons

Very low salary with minor chances of getting a rise the next year hired (rounds 1-2%) and those are not based on performance at all, lack of vision. No workload properly defined. Company hires a bunch of engineers and when they arrive to the office they keep them without project around 2 , 3 months. Upper management doesn't care about employees, it's typical company which buys pizzas and thinks that is how to improve company's trust. They force employees to keep within the company for a year by contract clause otherwise you have to pay like 150% what they gave you as relocation expenses, Visa, Layer, costs.(RED FLAG!) You cannot get sick, otherwise you have to use your vacations to go to the hospital, there are companies which offers unlimited PTO or sick/flexible days. You can verify this by LinkedIn by checking that more than 80% of workers doesn't last more than a year. Definitely do your research carefully before applying for a job here.
