Pros

Working with Alten USA as a remote system engineer in the Urban Air Mobility industry has been an incredibly smooth and rewarding experience. Alten excels in supporting its employees, ensuring that remote workers like myself feel integrated into the team and valued for our contributions. The company maintains clear communication channels, consistently sharing its goals and objectives, which helps align our work with the broader mission. Alten also fosters strong connections with our clients, enabling seamless collaboration and understanding of the projects we undertake in the rapidly evolving field of Urban Air Mobility. Moreover, despite working remotely, I've found Alten's efforts to foster a sense of community truly impressive. The company organizes various events that bring employees together, creating a supportive and collaborative atmosphere, even for those at off-site locations. This positive work environment significantly enhances the experience of contributing to the innovative design of a groundbreaking EVTOL aircraft.

Cons

When I started they did not pay for overtime. Now we get paid for overtime but only after the first 5 hours. That could be improved.

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
