What is the best part of working at the company?
I joined  as a temporary logistics employee working in the shipping department. My personal experience was mixed.

One thing I noticed was the very large amount of paper usage and printing processes, which seemed inconsistent with the company’s environmental and sustainability image. The amount of ink, paper, and power consumption appeared higher than what I have seen in many other facilities.

On the positive side, the company is very strong in security, information handling, and operational control. Their systems and procedures are highly organized, and I believe smaller financial or security-focused companies could learn from their standards.

For me personally, the work environment and processes were not the right fit, especially regarding environmental practices, but others may have a different experience depending on the department and role.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working at  was the heavy process-driven environment. There was a strong focus on paperwork, shipping procedures, tracking, and strict compliance requirements, which could become overwhelming during busy periods.

The workload sometimes felt inefficient because of the amount of printing and manual documentation involved. As a temporary employee, adapting to the systems and expectations with limited training also added pressure.

On the positive side, the company takes security, accuracy, and information control very seriously, which explains why many procedures are strict and detailed.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I wish I had something good to say here but my experience was not what I was expecting for such a large corporation. Their knowledge of what they are doing in my field was disorganized and lacked control. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The company had a lot of trouble providing the necessary parts and equipment required to complete the task at hand

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work culture was great because myself and my counter parts had to work together to makeup for the shortcomings of the company. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day was wondering if I would have the tools and resources to complete my task. I had to constantly purchase part on the spot to complete my work.

As the clerk, the main job was to answer phone calls and note down appointments. Also, I was the first person the clients saw as I would ask them to have a seat or walk them to their agent. Also, did a lot of paperwork and data entry as the whole company was run through the computer.

As for the management they are wonderful, always willing to help when I was just a beginner, same goes for the co-workers. The hardest part of the job was getting used to certain protocols and deciding on the correct agent as per customer needs.

Since I am a people person, I enjoy meeting and greeting people and providing "small talk" until they wait for the agent.

A company in need of renewal. Technology is quite old due to industry, but biggest issue is lack of investment. There is essentially no strategy of how to create new and exciting stuff. 

People are good to work with if you can establish relationships. Not easy for the thin skinned type who can't separate emotion with business. All due to the typical office politics, but in this place the processes allows great scope for inventive obstructionist to play. If you are good at what you do it shouldn't matter as only the weak ones play those games.

Low Salaries for what they want you to perform.  Expect hours like a startup but pay 25-30% lower than comparable companies in the Ottawa area for the same work.

Constantly cutting benefits to save money while France siphons off money from profits.

Co-workers are good if they're not in management.  They lay off all good managers.

Very difficult to get promoted unless you're a yes-person or you get hired from outside where you apparently have to know someone higher up in the company.

Will not publish criteria to get promoted or salaries.  Most raises are in the 0.5%-2% per year.

Busy at all times. Coordinating different tasks at the the same time  . But it would make the day go faster.

While working as a FIeld System Admin. Rep. it was one of the better employments.  Lots of travelling and exposure to different environments; tasked with military detachment unit, lots of responsibilities but lots of overtime.  too much overtime and you'll burn out quite fast.  do a good job and you'll keep the job for a long time unless economic situation changes.   had two managers, one local and one for field assignments.  both were good, supportive and amazing.

The schedule for work plan is firmed. and plenty of document for supporting design and manage process.
        The design work have been reviewed by a lot of people. 
        Due to project from different country, different employee come from different country and different background. Management is challenge work.
        The most co-worker will answer your correct questions.
        Definition of  work scope and negotiate with customer about the requirement change.
        Finished the task before the Due day. And accepted by Customer.

Thales Canada Ltd. Very organized company to work for here in the defence sector. The over lying policies are written for the Head office location and do not flow through to the Canada business units correctly. Procedures are not written out making it difficult for new comers to complete their immediate requirements. Training of personnel sucks. My initial training very limited and was after 5 months of being employed.
