Absolute worst company I have worked for in my entire life. - Anonymous employee ALSTOM Employee Review

This is for the BPLRT project. Upper management loops every team into the same meetings almost every day. Meetings of 30+ people are the norm, while everyone is expected to explain intricate technical details to everyone else. Expect to spend half your day listening to problems that aren't related to your work. Absurd amount of politics due to the blame shifting culture caused by upper management. Sarcasm is the usual way of conveying displeasure. Extremely unprofessional mannerisms are tolerated. Multiple project delays are causing the upper management to constantly chase you for deadlines and expect the impossible. High turnover rate, resulting in blurred job roles due to poorly formed JDs and panic hiring. Some vital engineering functions have 0 manpower working on it "because the person working on it left". Expertise knowledge is spread throughout multiple countries. Usually this isn't a problem, but relationships between the local and foreign teams are extremely bad due to upper management micromanaging their idea of "escalation" to foreign bosses. Expect no support from offshore even with "escalation".
