Pros

Diversity: joining Alten allowed me to work on many different sectors (Aerospace, automotive, energy) and to interface with a wide variety of customer Learning cure: If this can looks like a lot, being involved on 3 activities (Recruitment, Business development, Management) allowed me to develop new skills and give me the confidence to one day run my team/business in the company or elsewhere Career development: Alten's management is asking a lot (KPI, Performance) but is ready to give you the opportunity to take responsibility even at a young age. In less than 3 years, I have been able to evolve 3 times Mobility: Alten is allowing its team to move. More than 50% of my team member requesting a mobility have been successful. Team spirit: Every day not being easy, you can count on your colleagues to give you advices and help you to achieve your objectives

Cons

Fix salary: the salary for BM in London is low. This can be compensate by your bonuses, but those are not easy to get. Hours per week: The job requires spending a lot of time working per week in order to achieve your objectives.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thorough review. We value employees feedback as a way to improve our processes and are glad to see your overall experience with us is very positive. At Alten we see retribution as something global, not limited to the base salary. We offer an attractive package to all employees, who get an extensive set of benefits and a bonus system based on performance, on top of their gross salary. We are constantly reviewing market trends to ensure a proper alignment of our policy and the market. We do strive towards excellence and acknowledge our employees engagement towards reaching their ambitious personal targets. We will keep rewarding them for the level of effort they put into their job. Thank you again for your review.

Thank you for you review. We are striving to create a collaborative and inspiring environment for all our employees so I am sorry to hear you feel that way. As a growing company, receiving feedback is a priority in order to ensure a long lasting development and we will continue to find ways to improve. However, I wanted to address a couple of your specific concerns here. At Alten Group level, we managed to achieve a leader position on the Engineering and Technology consulting market with now more than 37,000 employees, and it is precisely because we put our people first. The same goes for Alten in the UK. Career development is at the core of the ALTEN LTD model and is managed thoroughly by dedicated Career Managers ensuring the continuity of the development of each consultant. The Career Management scheme is materialised by an Integration Meeting after the start of each engineer, and then by individual quarterly follow-up meetings in order to ensure both your career and your project are going in the right direction. Each year is wrapped-up with a formal Annual Appraisal, during which numerous topics are tackled such as Skills Development, Salary, Career Progression and Training. There are also follow-up meetings from a project perspective with the account manager. Then obviously, if you feel that this is not enough and would need more follow-up with your manager, I invite you to have a transparent communication and share your needs with them. Thank you for your ongoing contribution and feedback. Please be sure that we are committed to continuously improving career development at ALTEN LTD.

Pros

For freshers if they dont find any job than this is the best place. Team Leads are the best people, who will support in all the aspects.

Cons

Bonded labour for 1.5 - 2 years. Probation period for freshers is 1.5 years Low salary hike. Even if you are top performer no recognisation. No team outings. No motivation. As soon as bond gets over everyone will leave the company The appraisal is always delayed , not given in month of April.
