ALTEN

Check Xdin on glassdoor, btw. The management is so full of BS, they have a hard time keeping the toilets functioning, no joke. Speaking on the job, it’s very self-started, if you want any chance to stand out or have growth, you have to ask and beg for projects. Projects will take forever to start but end on a dime. The office is overall cliquey with people usually sticking to their friend groups they’ve known from previous jobs, with the business team being the worst. Business team seems to get all the perks and team building events along with the team completely avoiding the consultants that they’ve made bonuses from. A company that has lots of talent but lacks the ability to offer training to employees going out of their way searching for it. 

A typical day at ALTEN Global technology  solutions and private limited involves working on client-site projects, often requiring adaptability and quick problem-solving. I learned how to manage priorities across multiple stakeholders and improve technical skills based on client needs. Management varies by region; some teams are supportive, while others are more distant due to the consulting setup. The workplace culture is multicultural but largely client-driven, which can feel isolating. The most enjoyable part is the exposure to diverse industries and technologies, and the opportunity to work internationally.

Warehouse you will be covered in green pesticide powder. In the winter nomatter how cold it is you will do entire shift on concrete no heaters, only get hand and toe warmers. Lots of bad chemicals on everything, even you, and in the air. Pay is super low.

I worked for Alten as a contract employee for 2 years. My contract at the company I was on assignment at was not renewed and I was not brought on directly. They told me to report to the office and they would try to find me something else. They did not, fortunately, I was working on finding a new role on my own, because they suddenly told me that my employment with them was ending, I had done nothing wrong.

I once worked with an Alten supper wise manager, he sounds doing anything if you give Alten any business. Big talk, less engineering concept and management, if they can use you for a free trial, they will not forget baiting you to do something free; if not, they will sell you to their clients as Alten is a company of recruiting talents. Terrible French culture, not underdone earth America.

30 engineers are being managed by one business manager who does not know our day to day nor what projects we are working on. Career progression is blurry, no one really knows how to get a promotion. Chartership is never mentioned. High turnover rate and the company seems not to care about retention. 

Great team to work with. Great people, very helpful. 

Alten is a company which cannot be trusted, It never stands on its promise given to employees. It doesn't pay employees at a good rate. Management behaves rudely with employees during negotiation. I never saw a stupid company like this. So, Its not a good company to work for.

The overall culture is better than a big agency, but the practices aren't ethical with hiring people from out of the country so they can pay them less and once they find out they can make more money somewhere else they leave. Sales people who have never done any engineering work are your direct reports which doesn't make sense.

Good work-life balance with interesting technical assignments at client or in inhouse teams. Team events with the managers as well as with the locals office. Additionally, the company offers courses and classes to develop your skills. 

Great colleagues in my team 

Very bad company to work for.
Exploitation with zero leverage to grow.
Micro management
Lack of mentoring
Zero cohesive strategy
France HQ drive with puppets as local managers
