      Pros

      The Company had a clear focus and loyalty to its customers and products, as a result employees were motivated and rewarded for hard work and dedication. The company had frequent employee appreciation events that helped maintain high motivation and dedication to the company and mission at hand.

      Cons

      Demanding working, expectations of very high standards but very rewarding as a result.

      Incompetence all around with no autonomy to make decisions.

      Pros

      Worklife balance. Not much else.

      Cons

      French management rules. If you are not French, sorry.. For Singapore office: Been around for 40 years in SGP and still unable to achieve the business volume that other MNCs manage to achieve. They operate more like an SME than an MNC with no autonomy to make any decisions beyond $2M. Tedious internal process just to get approval to proceed with a bid/course of action. People waste time doing paperwork that is 50pages long just to get "approval". And this must be done 3 times. If there are more than 5 French people in a meeting, they will go on in French and ignore the other non-French speaking colleagues in the meeting. Below market salaries and bonus compensation due to poor performance in SGP and unmotivated staff with below average skills/qualification trying to project manage large complex projects. Add on a weak management that allows its customers to bully them (eg. not paying them on time or not at all). They keep writing useless letters to customers who ignore them because they know Thales will never act on it.

      Avoid this backwater place and head somewhere more cosmopolitan

      Pros

      There are none. You will be surrounded by lifers maintaining their hegemony and inner circles and who will box you in as they deem appropriate- the struggle to overcome this especially if you are a young, progressive and ambitious will unfortunately be relentless.

      Cons

      Take a look at yourself and then look around you, look at the management team, look at the the network of individuals who make decisions, you will find a particular demographic is prevalent and preferred - unfortunately anything different will be met with abrasion or apprehension.
