Pros
Work - Life balance is enhanced by working from home. Excellent technical staff that hangs around because they do not know what's coming.
Cons
Senior leadership in the US has been replaced by people from France. Management is actively trying to get rid of all employees in the US in favor of off-shore locations. There are a couple of well placed senior managers who's sole job is to do just that. When that does not work out, they are looking at bringing in resources on H-1B visa's, quietly. They will do anything to not back fill US workers with other US workers. Benefits have been changed for the worse over the last several years, mostly not being announced. Severance, paid time off, bonus payout, 401k match.. all changed. Most recently, they intentionally pushed out bonus payouts and reduced severance from 2 weeks per year to 1 week, then fired dozens of people before the bonus payout. These people were no longer eligible and given no notice of their pending termination. The US still operates as if the company is based out of Germany in many cases, and rarely includes remaining technical and management staff in any decision making, which will impact the US and its customers. Atos has been on a buying spree of late, venturing into companies that are product based versus service based. It appears that is the only way Atos can grow it's revenue.
