Our culture and your career
We enjoy thinking so far outside the box that we’ve put the entire thing aside, so you get all the space you need. This means that you will not just find a job here, but a true career: you are the one to decide in which direction you want to grow! And maintaining the right work/life balance doing so, is very important. Equal opportunities, inclusiveness and an informal culture are an essential part of our success. Just like your health and happiness. That's why we offer you the flexibility to do what works for you. Whether that means working part-time, working from home, or the option to be flexible regarding your start and end times: we will find the solution.

Our culture is very open. From enjoying a coffee at the Starbucks in our HQ to a ski trip with our international Young Employee Society and from interesting lunch lectures to a Friday afternoon drink with new employees: there’s something here for everyone. And because you are so involved and committed to our Thales goals, you not only get a (very) good salary, but also 40 days off a year.
