Pros
Lots of great and diverse technology. The technology is really interesting and provides interesting work. Work with really smart and talented folks.
Cons
HR Leadership lacks US knowledge & Expertise - this bleeds into all other areas of business - including large expat leadership make up in US.
Advice to Management
Hire local/in country talent in leadership positions and listen to in country expertise about most agile and effective way to run business.

"Corrupt Management and Nepotism at a different level!!"

Negative OutlookI worked at Thales full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Great company to work for that invests in its employees, excellent benefits (especially PTO & 401K - hard to find anything close to what they offer anywhere else)
Cons
Although company theoretically wants to invest in its employees, this is often not applied due to terrible management who is out to protect their positions and salaries and could care less about the development of their reporting employees. You have directors and VPs who hire their family members (nepotism) - their family members cost the business millions of dollars but at the end of the day, no one can say or do anything to these individuals.
They keep laying off the little people in order to meet their end of year budget so that senior management and executives could all get their bonuses. Corrupt management to say the least.Advice to Management
Stop driving the business to the ground by selfishly protecting your positions and hiring incompetent family members

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Thales full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Benefits, PTO mirror that of European packages.
Cons
Management lacks creativity and becomes threatened by new blood. Makes for an uncomfortable work enviroment. Employees follow management and found a lot of office politics, two faced employees trying to get ahead.
Advice to Management
Clean house and get those bad eggs that are keeping you from becoming a source to be roconded with.
