Pros

-Diversity -Company is backed by French so it probably won't go out of business -Titles usually don't match skill level -You can stay hired for a very long time if you want to -If you are French or speak it, you definitely have an advantage -If doing nothing all day, like meetings, checking email, politics, etc., Thales could be a good fit.

Cons

-Communication (especially engineering) is atrocious. -People in spots they shouldn't be -Sales sells features to customers before a product was even investigated/developed, leads to bad/ever-changing products -Talented people are not rewarded like they should be -New hire onboarding is nearly non-existent -Company is plagued by too much diversity combined with poor accountability which also causes poor communication -Most employees could care less about the product and vision because the future vision is not clear, just buzz words organized placed into a powerpoint -Scrum masters are manager puppets and mostly everyone dislikes them -Hygiene is a serious issue sometimes

Pros

Great benefits, decent pay, a few fun people on the team, casual Fridays, etc.

Cons

Poor management, horrible HR staff, a co-worker was being sexually harassed and the solution was to lay the victim off. The manager harassing him was kept and is still there to this day.

Not the true Thales (LIVETV)

Pros

There is a company bonus at the end of the year, and that helps out given the low wages.

Cons

Directors are treated like royalty. There is a definite need for cross pollination (say takeover) from the parent company. The Melbourne group is out of step and operates with impunity. Salaries are insufficient and opportunity is no where to be found.
