Pros

Nothing, it costed me peace for the time duration I was here.

Cons

People act as sweet but indulge in nasty politics. Groupism, if you offend one with a truth they will group together and will try to corner you. Senior Engineering manager, the one who provided me KT of the product when I asked him to document the process he avoided it by saying we don't go through it afterward. If you're still joining, god be with you. Thales is just a career killer company where workload is not evenly distributed across teams. Final point, France teams are provided first preference to do R&D work then maintenanace come to Indian teams. There title is just inflated with R&D.

Pros

Flexible work hours. Fair degree of autonomy.

Cons

Low pay. Outdated technology. The systems engineering had basically nothing manufactured by Thales so most of the work was just reading spec sheets to work out what off-the-shelf stuff can be bought, integrated, then call it a 'solution' and put a Thales on it. No training. Boring work. The company hypes itself up so much with buzz words like 'premium service provider' but the company isn't as advanced as it sounds.
