Pros

It's easy to get management jobs, you just have to ask for them (cluster leader, project management) Best part about this company is that it is full of young international people, so it will be easy for a foreigner to get along Good company to start a career if you don't want to become a technical expert I don't know if this is a pro or a con, but you will probably have to work less than 8 hours a day, since there won't be enough work The Christmas parties were pretty great (before Covid)

Cons

Bad salary, regardless of position (maybe except if you are business manager or above that, they have more benefits) Boring, repetitive tasks Company doesn't care about their employees (engineers), you will feel like a number Management can be quite shady, making promises about interesting projects and better salaries, and not keeping them I don't know if this is a con, but you won't find many germans there because they usually can find better jobs. Alten frequently hires highly qualified foreigners for cheap, taking advantage of the fact that they it will be harder for a non-german/non-EU citizen to find a job in Germany.

Pros

Salary fair with market. Faster growth than other companies. Good first experience.

Cons

If you leave the experience is not as useful as other companies'. They are "cheap" since you have to fight for every cost and they challenge them even when they approve them before hand.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. As a growing organisation, feedback is important for our continuous improvement. I am not sure what is meant by "cheap" exactly as you mentioned previously that you feel the salary if fair compared to the market.

Pros

I got abroad opportunity for 2 times when I worked for Aerospace Projects

Cons

Full politics among leaders. Leaders are not soo technically good. When projects not there don't hire candidates. One of worst team seen is PCO team when we are on bench these people will make you loose confidence. Mechanical background leaders are trying to work on software projects hence most of the projects will go wrong with work.
