      What is the hiring process like at Actalent?

      Actalent reviews

      Good company to get your foot in the door

      Process engineer
      Current employee
      Kalamazoo, MI
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - The hiring process was fast and easy right out of college. - They were quick to find me a new position when my first contract was cut due to department restructuring. - They communicate semi-regularly to see how you are doing in your role. - Yearly pay increase (currently set at a 5% raise)

      Cons

      - They often don't understand the role they are hiring you for (their description of the role does not match the work of the role). - You tend to find out key information regarding the future of your role before they do. - Pay is standardized regardless of performance. - Low PTO accumulation (8 hours for every 400 non-overtime hours worked).

      Contracted to Tesla

      Test technician
      Former contractor
      Fremont, CA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very quick interview and hiring process

      Cons

      Did not receive any severance pay or any support when the mass layoffs took place at Tesla. Fairly understandable since I was only contracted via Actalent but I wish there are still some financial support as I moved just for the Tesla job and now I'm unemployed with no money.

      Pros

      The recruiter I worked with was excellent and down to earth. Very helpful during the interview process and resume building.

      Cons

      Insurance benefits are not the best. It is a contract position. So you can’t expect much.

      Pros

      Smooth recruitment process. They are good people and want you to succeed in the role they place you in. They were willing to negotiate a higher contract salary and were flexible with remote work.

      Cons

      Benefits are okay. Very basic health insurance with supplemental plans. There is a 401k available, but no match.
