Thales reviews

too much to list. bonus mentioned in the Pros would be "forgotten" if the job was lost or new was found at the year end, tho you was working the whole year. hard to get training even if it's required to benefit the company. Employees are not assuming responsibilities, information hard to chase, some mid level mangers are not competent in what they are doing. a lot of office politics / games. company loosing bids due to outdated technologies. laid offs hide by termination - just to do not report to EI. unfriendly environment.

Benefits. Benefits were reduced without the option to opt into a a plan that was more expensive but with the same coverage. Boring projects. While there are interesting projects, there are also very boring projects that makes work feel like a sweat shop. Project management. I've notice that the company is big on piling tons of work on people. Some people get the short end of the stick and just become bogged down. This is good and bad but I've noticed that the focus is to look busy rather than be productive. So while engineers are definitely busy, I don't know if we are producing quality products. Middle management. Most are not leaders and seem not to have knowledge on project management. Seems everyone passes the buck to avoid getting in trouble. Lack of socialization. People here do not openly socialize. Not many team building exercises, events, or even lunches. People keep their heads down. Definition of "Agile" is code for paperwork.
