Pros

BBQs in the summer, annual event paid by employer, tons of different projects, benefits are better than other consultant agencies.

Cons

The performance review is very subjective, even more if you are consultant in the client's site. Even after having a supposedly good experience with the client's management, salary increase was very disappointing. There aren't really any policies to objectively justify a salary increase. When I moved countries for this position, I wasn't provided help with temporary housing support (not even a discount at a nearby hotel) nor a temporary car. I later found out the hiring bonus was low-balled compared to other employees. As with most companies, management matters a lot. Once I moved here, I was dropped off at the client's site and basically never had any contact with Alten's management. Before accepting anything, be sure the position correctly matches your experience and that it is what you want. Specially if it's at a client's site. At one point it felt that management just wanted me to get hired anywhere, regardless of how good or bad my fit for the position was.

Pros

Working at this company has been a truly positive experience for me. It’s a place where I’ve been able to learn and develop my skills, and I really appreciate that they invest in my growth by paying for my certifications. I’m also involved in special projects with high added value, which has had a strong impact on my career development. What makes the biggest difference for me is the way they support me as a mom. Having the option to work remotely when needed is extremely important, and it’s something we rarely find elsewhere. I’ve never felt judged for being a mother—quite the opposite. They understand my responsibilities at home while ensuring that the client is always satisfied. This balance means a lot to me, and it makes me feel valued both as an employee and as a person. Overall, I’m truly grateful to be part of a company that invests in my future, trusts me with meaningful work, and respects my personal needs.

Cons

Due to the global economic situation, salary increases and bonuses have been impacted.
