      Great for geeks... dreadful for business people. - Business Executive Thales Employee Review

      Pros

      Clever products, good connections with govornement. If you're a geek looking for fellows, this is the place for you.

      Cons

      Unclear direction, incredibly complex reporting lines, paralysis of decision making, "why we should not do this" attitude. With everyone having (at least) 3 reporting lines, it's a complex nightmare to get anything done. The focus of the conpany seems to be entirely internal amongst the management ("how do we get the intercompany charges sorted out ?", "Who is reposible for this and who do we need to talk to ?") Most favorite words of those running the organisation - "You need to understand the process. It's not as simple as that..."

      Pros

      *This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* None. Used to be a great place to work. I enjoyed the work I did and the various teams I worked with.

      Cons

      *This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* -Health benefits have gotten worse each year. -Constant layoffs. -Changed from an 8 hour 3 shift day, 5 days a week to a 10 hour 2 shift day, 4 days out of the week. The idea was to save money on overtime, then they started asking the employees to stay the 4 hours between shifts. Then they started asking the employees to work the extra 3 days. Then they made the employees sign a waiver, making the 3 days mandatory when needed. -Flat raises, everyone gets the same raise. -Lower management no longer cares -Upper management is too focused on vanity projects or no longer cares
