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.

Pros

Working at this company has been a truly positive experience for me. It’s a place where I’ve been able to learn and develop my skills, and I really appreciate that they invest in my growth by paying for my certifications. I’m also involved in special projects with high added value, which has had a strong impact on my career development. What makes the biggest difference for me is the way they support me as a mom. Having the option to work remotely when needed is extremely important, and it’s something we rarely find elsewhere. I’ve never felt judged for being a mother—quite the opposite. They understand my responsibilities at home while ensuring that the client is always satisfied. This balance means a lot to me, and it makes me feel valued both as an employee and as a person. Overall, I’m truly grateful to be part of a company that invests in my future, trusts me with meaningful work, and respects my personal needs.

Cons

Due to the global economic situation, salary increases and bonuses have been impacted.
