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.

Pros

I have been with the company for several years and have had a very positive experience overall. The company offers strong opportunities for career growth, especially for employees who are proactive, take ownership, and consistently deliver results. Internal mobility and leadership opportunities are available for those looking to advance their careers. Compensation is competitive within the industry, and performance is generally recognized and rewarded. While there is always room for improvement, I feel that the company provides fair compensation and good opportunities to increase earnings through career progression. Management is supportive and accessible. As with any growing organization, I have found leadership to be committed to employee development and business success. There is a strong entrepreneurial culture that encourages initiative and accountability. One of the biggest strengths of the company is the variety of projects and clients. Employees have the opportunity to work across different industries, technologies, and business environments, which helps accelerate professional development and keeps the work interesting. Pros: * Strong career development opportunities * Diverse and challenging projects * Supportive and entrepreneurial culture * Exposure to a wide range of industries and clients Overall, I would recommend this company to professionals looking for growth, responsibility, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Cons

Fast-paced environment that requires adaptability High expectations for performance and ownership

Pros

4+ years as a Business Manager at Alten, starting in Paris and now based in California and I have zero regrets. The career growth is real. You're given autonomy, your efforts are recognized, and the opportunities follow if you put in the work. The company has the network and the scale to open doors that others can't. Highly recommend for anyone ambitious and looking to build something long-term.

Cons

Fast-paced environment, not for everyone
