Pros

The overall office environment is always lively and the canteen food is amazing as well as being incredibly affordable! Everyone supports you as a new starter and frequently encourages and welcomes any and all questions. Of course the flexibility that dynamic working allows is incredibly useful when creating a work-life balance!

Cons

Since the pandemic a lot of people work from home so often the offices can be somewhat scarce on Mondays and Fridays but those that are still in the office still bring a positive and lively atmosphere with them.

Pros

Excellent work life balance available, also a great team spirit ethos is now rising with many activities outside as well as inside MBDA. This is now embedding itself and becoming the norm which improves togetherness and networking.

Cons

MBDA is a large organisation and it is sometimes difficult to find the right person to talk to, this is why networking and social events have such an important part to play
