Could be Better if they were Honest - Systems Engineer III Atos Employee Review

Very repressive HR VP blames rollbacks n the competition (IBM doesn't bay for home internet, so we are going to stop so we can compete) They put on austerity measures such as furloughs, reduction in 401k matching, travel, etc so "we can get through this hard time and not lay you off." Two weeks later there's a big layoff and the spend $4bn to buy another company. There is a we do everything attitude which ends up with them doing a lot of things poorly. Raises are few and far between, paltry, and are usually offset by a reduction in other compensation and benefits.
