    First couple of years were good here, but slowly started going downhill.
    The good thingsSome great people to work with.
    The challenges- Upper management do everything they can to better themselves and like to say they provide tools for you to do your job and that we are all treated like part of a team, but this isn't the case. - People who have only been with Thales a few months are ripping people apart for not doing jobs that isn't part of their job description. - Continuously changing responsibilities and processes. - HR do not follow employment contracts that they had written up. - Toxic and woke culture

    Melbourne VIC 30002 to 3 years in the role, former employee
    Just people wasting their lives and yours on sad little politics
    The good thingsNobody really cared that I didn't really do anything for two and a half years
    The challengesThe purpose of any given part of Thales is to argue with all the other parts of Thales. A business with it's own language at odds with both the meaning of English and French words. Somehow manages to lump all engineering of things which physically exist into "hardware engineering" in order to prioritise on systems and software engineering (aka "typing"), whiles running the most godawful IT department in Christendom.
