Pros

Pay was ok. Many workers are remote, so no commute. Most coworkers were solid technically. My direct manager was a good guy, but overworked.

Cons

So many. I might miss some. This company is not quick on its feet. Raises were < 1% (and I was always at the top) when they ever happened. Many years they didn’t. Slowly replacing US engineers with offshore workers through low and slow layoffs. Atos does not value employees. Long hiring freezes and travel bans to shore up cash on hand. More work was simply piled on those who stayed. Does not provide comp time for off hours work. US upper management mostly useless. French CEO is completely out of touch with reality. Poor benefits got poorer every year: * Lowered severance weeks by year of service. * Pushing all 401K matches to end of year. * Lowered PTO for employees with longer service. * Insurance got worse and cost more every year.
