Pros

The pay and benefits were great.

Cons

Very negative work atmosphere. A lot of complaining and pointing fingers as well as a tremendous amount of gossip throughout the office. Unorganized. No direction or guidance. No training. The position I interviewed for barely covered any of the job description/ duties.

Pros

Interesting projects and opportunity for working in different countries. Pay is OK but come in at a comfortable rate or it will possibly not increase per inflation.

Cons

Employees just want the truth and need their leaders to have their backs. No work life balance. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Old boys club mentality. No opportunity for work from home for management levels.

Pros

Working with up to date technology. Friendly work colleagues. Good integration with customers inserted into teams. Flexi-time. Feeling like you are doing something worthwhile.

Cons

For the second time since I've been working for Thales they are introducing redundancies. They sack people between projects and then try to rehire them when new projects start, unsurprisingly people are unwilling to return. Office politics are horrendous. I've never worked for a company where it's been so bad. Pointless meetings held by too many managers. Awful communication from management to workers, there are constant briefings that don't actually tell you anything and in a few recent cases we have actively been lied to - not good.
