  • 4. How valued do you feel by Atos?
  • I do feel valued at times - However I am not sure if it is because I am naturally quiet unless spoken to or usually just keep to myself, but I do feel that I sometimes fall "under the radar" so to speak.

  • It has gotten better since I started - Currently I am on the National Living wage which has helped me greatly. The only large cost which I have is my travel as I am a long distance commuter, even now it costs over half of what I take home each month to pay for my season ticket.

  • 9. Would you recommend Atos to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Because Atos has given me plenty of amazing opportunities over the last 18 months, all of which have helped in my development - This is why I made the choice to do the long and expensive commute as I simply see it as the cost of opportunity... safe to say I'm getting my money's worth and then some with all of the development I've done.

  • Simply be honest when being interviewed, research the company beforehand so you can find where you can add the most value - Try to write down any skills of yours which you want to showcase during the who process of applying.
