Pros
- There is a lot of knowledge in the company.
- Taking annual leave is easy.
- All travel, even travel to offices, is expensible.
Kontras
- Alten has a huge impact on MA and its employees. We were all seen as numbers and nothing else.
- People were leaving every month.
- Don't anticipate building a big pension pot; it is statutory.
- Be prepared to do a lot of SSIS and PowerBI, which is where the bulk of the income is generated in the company. There is little to no innovation going on.
- Everyone is very siloed.
- SLT and SMT are doing an abysmal job when it comes to pay rises and bonuses.
- Monthly financial all-hands is not fully transparent and requires a lot of reading between the lines.
- Pay bands are not great and can be changed at any given time.
- Pay rise and promotions were still not clear, and where they were clear, they were not being adhered to.
- Tuesday breakfast in the London office has been taken away.
- Monthly Pizza party on the last Thursday of the month has been moved from 4/5 pm to 6/7 pm.
