Low salaries, no relocation and lacks opportunities. - Project Engineer ALTEN Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Receiving regular feedback is key for Alten to ensure a long lasting development and continue to find ways to improve. I would like to address a few of your specific points here, as some of the comments need to be clarified with accuracy. I will not particularly address the comment on the fact that the company is “run by young inexperienced personnel”, as in only 5 minutes and 2 clicks on LinkedIn, anyone can see for themselves the experience and seniority of our top management. ALTEN prides itself as being a company who provides a chance for graduates and young people to join from entry-level roles and have a fast-track career development. That being said, it would not be realistic nor sustainable to only or mostly hire young graduates, as we need to demonstrate high-level expertise to our clients. To provide a bit of facts, last year, the young graduates represented 20 to 25% of our total number of hires. We actually achieved a lot towards developing and strengthening our expertise over the last few years, having put in place a robust Technical Direction, hence being trusted to deliver large-scale work packages for some premium clients in the UK. I would also like to clarify that we do not “move people around the country”. Mobility is something we promote within Alten UK and at Group level, however we do not enforce it and have no interest in doing so. We have many customer sites within the UK with a vast amount of exciting projects. Managers will present potential project opportunities to their employees if they think they could have an interest in it and will take into consideration any concerns the engineer might have, i.e. relocating to a different part of the UK. ALTEN does provide support to any employee who chooses to relocate whether it be for a new project or for personal reasons. Thank you again for your feedback, please be sure that we are committed to continuously improving and we will take all your points on board.
