Also, Thales is basically a sweatshop in Eastern Europe. They'll charge the EU several times what the work is worth in Western European dev wages, then nearshore the actual work in their Eastern European offices. Similar to what IBM, Oracle and other consultancies and bodyshops are doing. I wish I was a Western European manager there. Make huge wages without doing much work other than churn out PowerPoint presentations to the tech illiterate C-suite and boss around some Eastern European juniors.
