Pros

Good travel and mobility options. Lots of different roles and opertunities. Great graduate scheme.

Cons

Not so great as you get older and settled (married, kids etc) and can't be so flexible. It has the usual big company politics, made more complicated by the multi-national setup.

Business Outlook

Pros

Airbus is a great opportunity for any young person wishing to start their career. Anyone wishing to hopefully work abroad one day should definitely chase a career in airbus as mobility is greatly encouraged. I have been working in Airbus Uk for four years now and have recently had the opportunity to work in Nantes, France and it was a fantastic experience. The benefits given to employees through numerous schemes are second to none. Development is a very important aspect of Airbus and the company will do all they can to further support your training/development aspirations. Also Airbus really is a 'job for life' with the company outlook always expanding and improving.

Cons

The biggest con i can think of is that with such a big company and many employees at all different levels there can sometimes be a 'divide' between corporate levels, such as between upper management and the employees directly on the factory floor. Although this is improving with recent involvement schemes.
