Pros

Very well organized industry, as well as top team development and individual development for career employees of the company. Quality in every aspect of the word, and working there is very rewarding thus improving performance and output of employees.

Cons

no one would Pay is average, but we are talking about the German system, although I loved working there, I would earn more contracting Overseas for American companies or in the U.S. If the pay would be hire for the middle class jobs no one would leave this company as they are very well organized and good to the employess, very family oriented and professional.

Pros

To work at Airbus brings a lot of work benefits and a good salary. When you have a 40h week you wont be working much more hours than that, which gives a good work/life balance. Also it is great to take the ferry shuttle to work in Hamburg. There are a lot of interesting subjects to work on and you have all kinds of airplanes, including the A380 near you all day long!

Cons

The company is very big and therefore slow with changes and your visibility as an employee to the upper management is lower than in a smaller company. The site in Hamburg is quite big, that you dont meet your friends from work so often.
