Current building wont be enough for the growth of the division. in terms of hiring more people. Moving somewhere else bigger makes sense
Advice to Management
Nothing at the moment

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Thales full-time
Pros
Decent benefits package. Good amount of personal/sick days. Some limited work from home possible.
Cons
Short-sighted management decisions. Non-technical managers making technical decisions. Huge amounts of administrative reporting requirements to headquarters. Limited control of technology due to headquarter mandates and decisions. Tons of nepotism and questionable hiring/promotion practices.
Advice to Management
Hire technical managers that are competent. Give more power to local divisions to make technological decisions, or provide solutions that make sense and are in line with tech industry trends.

I worked at Thales full-time for less than a year
Pros
Can't think of many except good team members.
Cons
Was told I would have more software work to do which never materialized. Work is boring and there were long stretches where I had no work to do. This is very common with other new hires as well.
