DO NOT WORK HERE - TOXIC

Pros

Easy to travel to - NOTHING ELSE

Cons

1. Toxic workplace - the whole workplace is based on this idea of „image” not even performance. A lot of gossip culture as well as high levels of disrespect from management and higherups in general. Everyone follows the lead, and it is like a herd of sheep. Management themselves seem to encourage a gossip culture which is a shame and unprofessional. 2. No clear training - training is left 99% of the time for you to do individually, and when you ask for help everyone ends up to too busy and says that that cannot dedicate a lot of time to you individually. 3. No clear targets or progression - when you are assigned roles, they can get reassigned so if you’ve worked on something for over a week and are 90% of the way there, it can get reassigned and another member of the team can take all the credit which then leads to others complaining about your performance and makes no sense at all! Also getting any sort of promotion is dependent on „business growth” rather than your personal wins, which is something that is heavily emphasised when you first join - you can get promoted in the first 6 months, and then it’s oh it’s based on business? Bunch of lies and a waste of time. 4. High turnover rate - from engineers, business managers to recruiters, there is an extremely high turnover rate across the board and that is for a reason (mostly the ones above). The way this company works at times feels almost unethical and as though they are using employees and potential candidates.

Don't Fall For their Trap

Pros

Honestly, none worth mentioning. The onboarding was quick, but that’s only because they rush to hire people without having real work for them.

Cons

Alten hires people without having any project ready for them, then leaves them on the bench for weeks with absolutely no communication or support. Many of us who joined at the same time had the exact same experience. While benched, the manager kept pushing us to come to the office every single day, even though we were told during hiring that only one week of on-site presence was required. His justification was simply: “If you’re without a project, you should be in the office always.” Despite following everything they asked, they made no effort to find us assignments and ended up dismissing us after two months of doing nothing—through no fault of our own. It felt like being hired just to fill numbers, then discarded when they didn’t immediately need us.
