Great company to work as long you don't question authorities
Pros
Great colleagues, always ready to help you, the ones who give Thales the great branding. Yearly salary raise irrelevant if you met the yearly goals or not. Even if you over achieved. Countless trainings like greenwashing and wellbeing for whitewashing. Colleagues of several nationalities. Car/Bike parking and showers, no quiet route to reach by bicycle, you have to face awful traffic. 10000czk Pluxee benefit for leisure Multisport card always fix at 20EUR deducted on your salary. GSM card with unlimited data in EU. Paid business trips.
Cons
Typical corporate greed, absurd profits for the company, pennies for the hard worker, Prague site is a great source of income for the company and is not well rewarded, not even relocate to new building and worse no Christmas parties since Covid lockdowns, replaced by an afternoon boat party in September, absurd greed right here. Dare to question, you will face immediate retaliation and eventually terminated. Useless whistleblower report, the response is call center type and case closed - deverves external investigation and audits. Too old building, ventilation always with problems, smell of breath if you don't open windows. Zero environmental policies in practice. Occasional propaganda might happen just for greenwashing and photo op. No unions, perfect for the company to abuse their employees if you ask a question they dont like. Large hires from non EU citizenship, questionable if the hires are to be made hostages of their work visas. "Uncontrolled office attendance" - a trap to be used against you at their will. You might be fired without notice even if you worked 20 years and done nothing wrong.
