Pros

The parent corporation Gemalto SA was a fascinating, complex and rich organization to work for and with.

Cons

The US division out of Austin was a nightmare of arrogance, narrow mindedness and focus where they clearly demonstrated the significant flaws in allowing sales to run ALL aspects of a business. Their idea of retention of employees is to reward extraordinary effort and success with a 3% annual raise.

Pros

Lots of work. Great chances of moving up because people are forever leaving or getting fired.

Cons

Constantly revolving door for employees; sometimes it's their own decision, most time it's upper management decision. Very toxic environment. Understaffed. Overtime is almost always necessary on the weekends because production employees are not held accountable. Management is quick to blame employees, rather than asking question. Employees are underpaid. IT support is awful. Budgets have been slashed so much that it's difficult to upgrade necessary equipment and technology. Downward communication from upper management is just about nil. HR/Management decisions are leaked through the rumor mills that are rampant in Atlanta. High management turnover rate. Management shows extreme favoritism. It's strange that, ever since Thales took over Gemalto, there hasn't been a strong Thales management presence in Atlanta.

Pros

The company has recently reversed it's policy on telecommuting. Many employees are able to work from home at least one day a week.

Cons

Too bureaucratic with many layers of red tape Simple tasks are made complicated not by the systems but by the processes Most IT services are outsourced - takes forever for issues to be resolved
