Pros

HR team is helpful, they are really nice; Provides non-paid trainings, if a training need payment, forget it or become a people likes complain; Alten manager does not follow your mission so much, except you have another offer; Provides check de vacance, C.E.

Cons

If you are a foreigner not French, you probably will be depressed after 6-12 months; Very very very low salary; if you want to ask salary increase, it is more difficult than get a physical+psychological double degree P.H.D diploma; If you are talent, it is not a good choice, if you are not confident with your skills, it is a temporary place; They know you will not leave within 2 years, and after about 1 year of working, after you notice your salary is so low, you still need a log time to find another offer, during these 2 years Alten will not increase your salary; Remember, you are just a number for Alten, not a friend, don't be stupid too much.

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.
