Thales Reviews

Pros

Thales work culture is open and empowering with great benefits. The 9/80 work schedule is wonderful as every other weekend is 3 days long. Projects are cutting edge in the area of augmented reality which is booming. Thales Visionix products are flying on many US and foreign military platforms with great results. Its personally satisfying to speak with our customers as they really like the equipment and use it every day. As a result sales are growing as is the staff. The Thales Group provides ample opportunities for career growth both here in the US and internationally. By far the best place I have ever worked.

Pros

You are always pushed/encouraged to grow as a developer. Always updating tech stack to the latest and greatest. Probably the most tech savvy engineers I have worked with. Great benefits.

Pros

European company, great PTO.

Advice to Management

Advice to Management

Stop creating new Director and "VP" positions to retain managers who didn't succeed. Let them go. Take an interest in the competitiveness-crushing processes your middle managers enforce, and why they don't improve. Your people could improve them in days if you backed them up and removed obstacles. Fire every director and above responsible for the SAP implementation which cost millions, resulted in sustained sub-80% on-time delivery, bitter customers and industry partners, and created supply chain blind spots that still haunt us--all without improving a single business metric 18 months later.
