Pros

Work from home. Not much else.

Cons

Unbelievable amount of mind numbing 'training' to use the servers. I spent four weeks doing nothing but watching videos and reading PDFs on how to access the system. The offshore guys are CLUELESS. It's like they get any random Joe from the streets of India and say, "You want to be a linux administrator?" I worked there for a total of six weeks and I *never* once touched a linux server. It was six weeks of

Pros

I can't list any. There is no community, no company events, no fun but low salary. It's suitable for older folks who are scared to loose their jobs and would do anything just to have one.

Cons

This company is a joke. They have absolutely no idea what the position is they are hiring for. They just copy/paste job ads and expect you to do whatever comes your way no matter if it matches your skills and experience or not. In the job ad they listed Axure and Invision as a requirement, and when I actually started working for them and asked for these tools my manager said (at first he didn't even bother to answer, just ignored my requests) "we invest in those tools at a later stage" and "we can't buy it for you, it's company policy". Basically they expected me to use my own laptop and pay for any tool I needed if I wanted to do quality work since everything was blocked on the client's computer and they gave my an old HP laptop with dying battery without any design software installed. And when I raised my problems and concerns to my manager, the answer was: (quote) "We can find someone else in a very short period of time." Well, good luck with this attitude, I'm better off without you.

Pros

Many people work from home full-time. Lots of varied environments to support, which really teaches you a lot of different IT perspectives, and really trains you to be able to switch gears and multi-task. Some very talented individuals work here so there is often a wealth of knowledge to be learned, and a lot of experience to be gained. While the company does not have a lot of brand-recognition, its customers are often very well-known. Company has beefed up their mobile phone support, it is now quite good. Decent benefits, not great, but not horrible. I believe their about to switch from Cigna to Aetna so things may change. Atos has also made some very good and interesting acquisitions in the last year and a half that have really grown it's business in terms of size and scope/breadth.

Cons

Unless you are a major slacker, you are probably going to be horribly overworked. Company works really hard to outsource everything. If a US customer does not want to be outsourced (India), then they'll bring in engineers from South America on a work visa. They work as hard as they possibly can to avoid promoting from within, or hiring talented US-based engineers. In addition to no promotions, there are no raises and no bonuses, even if you max our your performance review. Can be slow on uptake of new technologies. Very cheap cost-focused company, which can be certainly be good, but not always. Sometimes the company doesn't want anybody buying anything... even basic office supplies are heavily scrutinized. Recent round of layoffs targeted very talented workers with a high amount of tenure. This was very concerning to me, as I had hoped to make Atos a long-haul company for me. Management has asserted that teams that are working well over 40 hours (due to be short staffed from layoffs and attrition which they won't backfill) of being OVERSTAFFFED. Yes, you read that correctly. People working themselves to death are on an OVERSTAFFED team according to management. So basically a total disconnect from leadership and regular employees. Org chart is not at all flat. So many different layers, it can be hard to get things done. Employee moral is overall very low.
