Pros

I was put on a good project with lots of opportunities to learn new things and expand my knowledge of engineering. I do think I got lucky though. I got a bonus for exceeding expectations which was nice.

Cons

The business managers are so detached from what the consultants are actually doing. The business managers change a lot as well so it’s hard to touch base and have continuity with your career progression. The pay is pretty bad. Alten hire graduates and sell them as ‘experienced’ engineers. I had no experience in the domain I was put in which was awkward for the managers. It was a sink or swim situation where I had to learn on the job and excel to be seen as useful.

Pros

Well-meaning (about 10 individuals) who attempt to create a healthy and enjoyable workplace environment.

Cons

- Top-down French culture. - HQ controls and imposes its ways (despite Canadian and local culture norms) and relies on oversea employees to ensure they maintain control. - They do not respect interview and recruitment discussions: if it’s not explicitly in your contract, you’re not getting what you discussed with the recruiter. They sell you a “driven and flexible Quebec start-up company”. In reality it couldn’t be further from the truth; Distrust, explosive reactions, personal criticism, and gossiping are the main culture.
