Pros

I worked for Thales Avionics: 1. Freedom to implement new technology 2. Relaxed environment and much more time for self learning 3. good perks (4 weeks PTO, you acquire time every paycheck, 7% 401K (4% match + 3% company gives anyway) 4. Less of hand holding and good place to learn about avionics

Cons

1. Disconnect management (do not know what coming next day) 2. Unaligned management. They fight and prefer a particular thales location to give/take project. CA (Irvine) being office of boss, given more importance, Orlando secondary and Melbourne is a step child. 3. Layoff is common 4. Immigration team (of 1 member) delivery is late and takes extra effort to get answer.

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
