      OK, for an IT consulting firm

      Software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good starting salary for an IT consulting firm - Better contract than most other French consulting firms ("Métallurgie" whereas most others use "Syntec") - Good work/life balance. Barring temporary crises, most employees do 37-40 hours a week - Some good opportunities to work on interesting, large-scale projects (if you're lucky)

      Cons

      - Low salary rises - Non-innovative tech culture - It's still an IT consulting firm. Consultants are basically meat. - Constant management changes, yearly evaluations done by a guy/gal you've never seen before and will never see again - Which doesn't matter, because evaluations are basically uncorrelated to salary rises

      Wish the Leicester site hadn't closed down

      Pros

      I worked for Thales at their site in Leicester, I was gutted when they relocated all of their operations to Crawley and closed the Leicester site, in the year since leaving I am yet to find a company with such a great atmosphere, great staff, family feel etc, I miss the xmas raffle, parties, Diwali celebrations. I wonder if Leicester was unique in this way ? Thales as a company offer good routes for progression, pay rises, appraisals and courses, 27 days holiday plus options to purchase more holiday, discounts with petrol companies and retailers, good pension etc. Great company to work for

      Cons

      Challenges of my position were with dealing with customers who's work had not been completed on time.
