      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Challenging work, good domain (Avionics), lots to learn, new technologies can be introduced and experimented upon

      Cons

      Needs immense revamp of infrastructure like IT, HR, facilities, Software Tools group, etc... The Management needs to think if they give quality of hardware and time in office, the employees will give you back quality product. Uses VDI for development (whose actual use is for call centres, where u just need to open a browser), which hampers the productivity. For every use there are multiple software tools being used, which hampers the compatibility & dependency.

      Frustratingly challenging.

      Pros

      It operates in varied markets, so the experience and type of work differs from one area to the next. Employees across the board are committed and proud of the work they do. Half-day Fridays and good terms and conditions, which are consistent across the UK. Emphasis and control has moved to global divisions, but Thales UK is still trying to operate as a profit centre, meaning duplication of effort and reporting to maintain UK corporate senior management roles.

      Cons

      There is little work-life balance. No social scene. Limited progression outside of UK unless you have worked in France. Innovation and carrying out your day-job is stifled through complex, unnecessary processes. No commitment to carrying out employee cultural programmes or communication effectively.
