Pros

- decent pay - good work-life balance - not too much stress - public servant kind of job - you wont be fired if you don't perform

Cons

- you climb the latter, if you don't screw up (succeeding is not important), which means that you shouldn't fail, which leads to: no risk taking and no decision making - no strategy in place or totally disconnected from people working - no entrepreneurial culture: "we only build something new, when the customers fully pays us" - constant re-organisation (at least every 2 years)

Pros

very high salary, a lot of vacation days, beeing part of the EADS company (having the possibility to move to Airbus, Astrium, Eurocopter), trainings provided every year, friendly lower management, working on high technology aircraft / systems, bus transfer to work provided, good cafeteria

Cons

low morale; pessimism; unclear future of company, because of low risk approach for new products of executive management; politics; hierachical organised; in case for Manching: remote location; possibly no more aircraft development

Pros

I have been working for Airbus since a few years now. I started as external employee and after a couple of years a position in the team opened and I could join internally. I love to work here for a variety of reasons: - the atmosphere and working environment in the company is absolutely amazing; people are willing to help, ethics and compliance is a strong value here, team spirit in the engineering community is really remarkable; - there is a constant push to improve, enhance and make better: here quality comes first!!! - you constantly feel (or receive the feedback from the management) that your job is meaningful for the success of the company; - it is very difficult to get bored! Plenty of interesting activities pop up each month and it is a never ending learning experience; - there is a wide offer of courses and classes to choose from to improve your knowledge and hard or soft skills; - taking responsibilities for your work / area of expertise and growing professionally is very much favored and facilitated by the management; - many possibilities and freedom of moving within the company divisions, also internationally; - to conclude with, salary, working hours (35h per week contract), benefits, performance-based bonuses are above average and among the best in Germany.

Cons

I did not meet anyone yet who decided to leave for a working opportunity in another company.. I think it really means something ;)
