RecommendsNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Thales full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Enjoyable overall experience. Lower level VPs all very experienced in field and easy to work with.
Cons
Lack of technical/commercial solution to be competitive with other suppliers. Upper mgmt seems to be behind the curve in pursuing new technologies to stay competitive.
Advice to Management
Stop spending so much money on some new random VPs and begin investing in engineering and R&D.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Thales full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Great company, good pay, PTO and 401k match is amazing compared to most companies. 5-15% shift differentials for technicians was a plus. Great team, and great future for the IFE sector in sight. A lot of professionalism, customer, and team building skills to be learned here. The opportunities are endless as Thales is located around the world. If you are a freelancer, this company can take you anywhere.
Cons
Performance based raises on the low side but no cap on total pay rate.
