Senior engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good flexible work hours, decent office environment with everyone gets the same kind of office. Good working environment. Decent health insurance with choices to save money on premiums. Good benefit package 401K, PTO, Long term disability ins.

Cons

A lot of spinning around and little progress made . Little visibility on 6 months ahead in many departments, no visibility at all a year ahead. Workers are unsure of where the company is going. Many employees think the company is going down and the morale is bad . Strong presence in US but definitely not a US style or US culture company. Turn overs are way too high for departments to have any effective talents.

Pros

You will get a fair idea of payment security domain.

Cons

Girls on contract basis especially are humiliated and embarrassed, contracts withdrawn in between with out any prior notice. If you are a girl, it’s impossible for you to survive in Thales unless you are really close to the manager else you will be out of the company once their work is done.
