Pros

MBDA's position as the European leader for missile provision in Europe means that they are a company with great interest in people from both civilian (University / Industry) and military (I am ex-RAF) backgrounds. This is because there are roles that need people with excellent academic abilities and people who have operated in the "real" world. MBDA covers the whole spectrum, from high-end component / system design and development, through to systems integration (which is what I do) and in-service support. As a result, there are a huge variety of roles available, which is great for personal development and progression. I feel having this variety of activities makes it an interesting company to work for. Another thing I really appreciate is MBDA's willingness to support flexible working arrangements, whether that's home-working, or non-standard working patterns (I've just moved from full-time to part time, so looking forward to that). It's a very supportive working environment, with a strong emphasis on looking after our people and on inclusivity.

Cons

I don't really have anything to complain about - however, the sites are subject to constant development, so you might find your office arrangements changing, or having some restrictions on parking, but they are minor quibbles.

Pros

Excellent development opportunities, great salary and benefits, inclusive culture and our products are way more interesting than cars and gadgets!!! MBDA is a long established company that has become a great British and European employer with great products and ethics, it is both transformed and transforming.

Cons

Complex products with complex life requirements that means we have long engineering life cycles, working here could satisfy your technical aims but can take longer than working on cars and gadgets.
