Not a good place to work for an SE or SSE or even Tech lead
Pros
There are no pros from employee policy. From CEO to your manager every one is working for only one goal i.e. 'to save my job' Work Life balance is the best yet I experienced. Everyone seems more or less relaxed.
Cons
>The HR in Atos are there because other IT organizations have HR dept. HR will not care even if you are dying while on job. >No one in the employee services like accounts , operations will fear of an escalation even to CEO. >Managers will have a thought about something and rest should follow same , if you raise your voice nothing will change but your salary hike will change for sure. Even people will not mind you though you are saying about daily troubles. >One thing for sure that if you join atos, you will not get any hike for at least next 3 years >Though policy tells that you can work from home for 20 days in a year , you will not be allowed to do so by hook or crook. >There are no technical people around you. Those who are there for longer time do not even know very basics of the technology. >Managers in atos think that his employee is working for him/her not for company. I always felt that my manager is paying my salary thats why he behaves like this. If you are joining as sr manager and above then it will be the best job because the thing you need to do is speak with client , say ok to every thing that client says then tell employees under you that client had put 'bla bla bla....' target / expectation or some similar word , if your employee argues stop her saying by anything and then relax and relax and relax. Do not listen to any problem.
