Pros

Comfortable hours or good overtime opportunities. Interesting work. Good benefits (pension contribution / bonus) Nice site with subsidised food/coffee.

Cons

The development process is not utilised by management I've interacted with. There's no clear definition or route of development. The company produces a competency matrix to justify progression but 'years served' seems to be crucial. Communication with teams is very inconsistent. Workload of managers are too high to allow them to manage people.

Pros

An international company that gives you amazing opportunities for international exposure (either short or long term secondment in France, UK, Italy or Germany). MBDA regroups the best of each country’s culture to make those national differences a strength developing a strong Cultural Intelligence (CQ). Huge sense of belonging working in an innovative environment in order to develop, produce and deliver cutting edge technologies within our products for our nationals and export customers. Fantastic work life balance opportunities with hybrid working pattern.

Cons

Due to the nature of our products (Defence) it might sometimes be difficult or inappropriate sharing our day to day job achievements or successes outside the company.
