ALSTOM Employer Reviews

I've enjoyed working at Alstom and would encourage anyone else to join their team

Lean and Sixsigma projects. Great to work with some of the Largest Heavy Lathes in the world. Co-Workers were great to work with. Climate controlled facility made factory floor work highly enjoyable, even in the worst outside conditions.

In almost 30 years, I have never felt the need to burn any bridge, but this place is dysfunctional with a capital D. They could do a case study in business school about bullying in the workplace. My department had a turnover rate of about 200% over an 18 month period. Management is clueless, and borderline unethical.

good place to work, everyone worked together as a team, management was great, they work with you if need be, lots of days off with pay, good heath care, good 401k plan

good company, I like relationship with local peoples.
good relationship with management

as a globe company, if the organization changed, everything will be changed, how can i do?.

Very diversified work that utulized my previous Engineering work experience.

Welding Turbines with a Automatic Tig machine. The only company in the United States that does this process. A very large company. I was trained in Switzerland for 1 year. My co workers are great. The best part of the job is the large scale of the items we produce.

I worked there for many years including in management roles. The company is extremely poorly run by senior management. One division was repeatedly losing hundreds of millions of dollars per year but still kept its leadership in place. Compensation is below that of competitors. The overall competence of people is poor.

There is a reason why so many employees quit from the Charleroi PA plant. Management has no clue on how to run a business let alone treat their employees with respect. Most workers are temp to hire, but never get hired. I'm surprised the company is still in business. Stay far away from this company!!!!!

8:30-5pm.
This company has great culture and working enviroment
The most enjoyable part of my job is coming into work, and being productive. The hardest part of the job is being assign vague tasks.

Alstom is a great place to work.
It wasn't what I was looking for.

1) Challenging work
2) Installation of Digital Radio project (Lead role) (DTRS)
3) Very poor management and Lack of Management support
4) Co-workers were excellent)
5) Had to re-designed Schematic Diagram (DTRS) in order to correctly install it to Alstom Trains.
6)Teamwork amongst co-worker.

Coffee.Morning meeting with the team.Yesterday's problems in the work,progress review,how to proceed,-if needed- new job allocation.Keep working with the template studies,if something new is required ,where to look,what to do.Big library with Norms, Specs,old Projects, technical data is available.My collegues in the Grid Engineering Team have been evoluted – more... to be self-sufficient;five people: one gentleman,four ladies ,3 to 5 years of experience.Our Company is multinational,our subsidiary involves 3 sectors : Power Generation,Transport, Power distribution/transmission (Grid).The management is complicated after our merge.Projects that cover a wide area.We follow-up nearly ten countries.Most difficult part of the job is to extract information over a long distance call when correspondance becomes stacking.We are enjoying occasonally a Site visit to inspect the correct implementation of the studies.It breakes the routine! – less

ALSTOM HELPED ME IN DEVELOPING MY LEADERSHIP QUALITIES.
AT AGE 32 I WAS GIVEN OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD A TOUGH SITE LIKE BUJAGALI , UGANDA AND I HAVE SUCCESSIVELY COMPLETED THE SITE.

i worked night shift 12 hour shifts striping gasturbins down and fitting new parts to them and putting them back to gether

They work all over the world.
Very professional.
I start working at 06h00 and leave at 17h00.I work extended hours and enjoy every minute of my work.I issue permits to 7n different contractors and have 3 co-ordinators to assist me.
We all work together as a team

I was there on a temporary basis from May to December 2012. Very enjoyable place to work in and nice co-workers in general.

During the weeks that I've been here I can say that Alstom is one of the best companies that I have worked for. I would like to stay longer in Alstom so that I can further improve my experience but unfortunately I'm on a temporary assignment. Keeping an open mind I wouldn't mind exploring other companies if an opportunity present itself.

Enjoyable
interesting
good team work with other contractors
management very fair
