Thales seems to be losing all technical cyber staff daily as the company seems lost and is allegedly going backwards very fast under the new management.

Is there the same happening at all big cyber consultancy businesses, or is it a Thales issue due to the alleged poor treatment of staff recently?

I was just told that they have finally informed the head of their Cyber division at Thales that she has to leave after making such a mess of the business. She has demanded to make it look like she has resigned, rather than fired, so just wait for the carry-on with her pretending it was her choice haha.

It Is certainly the talk of the Cyber industry about how terrible staff are being treated in the Thales Cyber division. What a mess. Good for competitors though.

It will take a long time to rebuild the Thales Cyber division after the damage done to its reputation over the last year. Horrible stuff from what I hear.

Are you referring to the Vancouver office? The few remaining good workers (who tried to make a difference) either left or got pushed out because they were pushing back against stupid decisions by the VP and his cronies

You’re not alone. Sonar, Vancouver’s flagship product was already a bloated disastrous mess and then new, completely inept management from Israel came in and only worsened the problem 20 fold. As pointed out above, the few good engineers who wanted to make it better just got pushed out as they were getting in the way of the management trying to carve off the last remaining morsels of meat from the carcass. All of this is a Thales problem, not just in Australia. As noted though, FAFO. The reputation has been badly ruined

Should I transition to a tech sales job? Thoughts on risk vs reward? I am 34 yo, married with a baby incoming.

I have an MBA from the University of Chicago, not that it matters much in sales. I have always been in a consulting role but I think I can make more in sales.
