Thales reviews

Behind the door of the corporation lies a nightmare working environment. Politics and unprofessional management rules from the top on down. There is no resource management so no one keeps track of who does what. Many good people are being so overloaded with work that they can never be successful in their job. There is so much potential there, with some of the best people I've ever worked with, but without professional management, their efforts are being squandered.

If you snooze you rule else you bounce from one project to another putting out fire. Basically these guys have a set of leads that do not really do any technical work and they load up on leads before actual resources who do the work. The result is good old inverse pyramid. HW portion has 3-4 leads with no one to lead. Sw portion has leads that are basically incompetent engineers but very good in schmoozing. Now this probably happens in most companies but when you have 4 layoffs in 5 years, things got to change, at least a sane management would realize this. It would be interesting to see how long this "culture" will go on.
