Atos reviews

A continual reduction in compensation - pay has not kept up with inflation. Raises are only through advancement, but advancement is denied (I tried promoting one of my team members, but I had missed the unpublished 'deadline' and was told to wait for another 7 months. It was denied then too without explanation). PTO - we lost the ability to accrue and now have a use it or lose it policy. Company holidays in the US went from 10 to 9. 3 of those are 'floater' holidays now. This allows them to not pay OT for some workers on the day after Thanksgiving and the day after Christmas. PTO accrual cap was cut from 7 weeks to 5 weeks. We used to reach 5 weeks after 5 years of employment. Now it's 10 and in that process many had their PTO reduced. 401K match used to be made with each paycheck. Now it's one lump sum at the end of the year IF you are still employed. Bonuses are paid 6 yo 8 weeks after the end of the bonus period IF you are still employed. This last round they delayed the bonus payout by an additional 6 weeks so they didn't have to pay bonuses to the people they were about to lay off. And those poor souls found out by surprise that the severance package had been reduced quietly in the background about 1 month before they were laid off. It went from 2 weeks notice and 2 weeks of pay per full year of service to no notice and a cap of 14 weeks of pay. People with 20 years of service were treated the same as people with 7. There is an abuse of the US Visa laws - cheap labor is brought on shore to replace US workers. Delivery quality is poor. Time to go.

If you are in a 40 mile radius you must go into the new office that is completely ridiculous. I was work from home before we got acquired by this joke of a company and once I started asking around about how I could get my work from home back I was told to come into the office. Nobody knows what is going on unless you are talking about furloughs or bonuses. It has been the worst work experience I have ever had and they do not care about anyone. They worry about the stupid stuff and could care less about their customers or employees. They are obviously doing something right! If you are looking for tools to help you do your job you can forget it! If you want to work for a company that has acronyms or acronyms and could care less about you, then this would be a perfect company for you.
