ALTEN reviews

Wages are not competitive compared to other contract houses Never keep in contact with contract employees, at one point wasn't contacted by anyone for over a year Always come up with excuses for why they can not give out raises Always find a way to make something your fault, even when it isn't Feel taken advantaged of because I was hired right out of college and did not know what a decent wage was for the market because of lack of information on it Very greedy people Honestly work for aerotek, these people don't know what they are doing

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.
