Pros

A leading french company in defense, security, aerospace, transportation, ticketing etc. Thales has a very good global presence. The local location has a rail signalling product, to my knowledge, is the best in the world.

Cons

Cannot make a generic statement here as I am not exposed to all the Divisions of thales group. Just based on the local division, I've seen lower management not appreciate and recognize good and hard work performed by some true dedicated employees year after year after year. Lots of politics & favoritism in the play; kills the morale of honest hard workers.

Pros

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* None. Used to be a great place to work. I enjoyed the work I did and the various teams I worked with.

Cons

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* -Health benefits have gotten worse each year. -Constant layoffs. -Changed from an 8 hour 3 shift day, 5 days a week to a 10 hour 2 shift day, 4 days out of the week. The idea was to save money on overtime, then they started asking the employees to stay the 4 hours between shifts. Then they started asking the employees to work the extra 3 days. Then they made the employees sign a waiver, making the 3 days mandatory when needed. -Flat raises, everyone gets the same raise. -Lower management no longer cares -Upper management is too focused on vanity projects or no longer cares
