Pros

- Generally relaxed culture - Great place to learn and grow - Good bosses who care about you

Cons

This company has a legacy HR system that is traditionally not very kind to junior (younger) entrants, even if you have strong skillsets. Software and DevOps skillsets can earn you a lot more in the market (especially in richer corporations) while here, they will peg your salary to what is usually offered to younger fresh grads. This also means that you will be stuck with that low bar salary - increments are generally average and wont affect your TC much. Recently I've noticed alot more younger personnel leaving for other opportunities, where they pay closer to market rate. But if money is not a concern for you and youre happy working with a generally older and traditional crowd, then this might be a good place for you. Others: - Flexi benefits of 1200 is considered low compared to some other organisations - Leaves are very low too. 18 days for the first year, and slowly incremented. In 10 years, you'll only have about 22 days leave. There are organisations that offer 30 days leave, or maybe even unlimited PTO just as a junior. - even if thales is doing very well, the bonus is quite limited, definitely not as much as that in civil service

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
