Pros
MBDA makes excellent products. It has a great depth of technical expertise and experience, but most of this is in the heads of its technical employees. The pay and benefits are reasonable for a defence company. It is doing well financially. Employees are generally well-treated, and there really is not a 'blame culture'. The turnover rate is low, and many people have been there for twenty or thirty years.
Cons
Many people have been there for twenty or thirty years ... and many are set in their ways. Organisationally, MBDA is overly complex and full of stove pipes. Middle management is mostly overhead. Opportunities for career progression are limited.
