Pros

Easy to get hire. Company sponsors visa and helps you in migration task. Overtime is paid

Cons

Very low salary with minor chances of getting a rise the next year hired (rounds 1-2%) and those are not based on performance at all, lack of vision. No workload properly defined. Company hires a bunch of engineers and when they arrive to the office they keep them without project around 2 , 3 months. Upper management doesn't care about employees, it's typical company which buys pizzas and thinks that is how to improve company's trust. They force employees to keep within the company for a year by contract clause otherwise you have to pay like 150% what they gave you as relocation expenses, Visa, Layer, costs.(RED FLAG!) You cannot get sick, otherwise you have to use your vacations to go to the hospital, there are companies which offers unlimited PTO or sick/flexible days. You can verify this by LinkedIn by checking that more than 80% of workers doesn't last more than a year. Definitely do your research carefully before applying for a job here.

Pros

I have been with the company for several years and have had a very positive experience overall. The company offers strong opportunities for career growth, especially for employees who are proactive, take ownership, and consistently deliver results. Internal mobility and leadership opportunities are available for those looking to advance their careers. Compensation is competitive within the industry, and performance is generally recognized and rewarded. While there is always room for improvement, I feel that the company provides fair compensation and good opportunities to increase earnings through career progression. Management is supportive and accessible. As with any growing organization, I have found leadership to be committed to employee development and business success. There is a strong entrepreneurial culture that encourages initiative and accountability. One of the biggest strengths of the company is the variety of projects and clients. Employees have the opportunity to work across different industries, technologies, and business environments, which helps accelerate professional development and keeps the work interesting. Pros: * Strong career development opportunities * Diverse and challenging projects * Supportive and entrepreneurial culture * Exposure to a wide range of industries and clients Overall, I would recommend this company to professionals looking for growth, responsibility, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Cons

Fast-paced environment that requires adaptability High expectations for performance and ownership

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
