Pros

Very interesting projects, people are kind and help you to understand the problems related to guidance and control design for the whole missile system. It's a very stimulating place to work.

Cons

Career opportunities are not so satisfactory, the average age is a bit high and it's very difficult to be recruited definitely by this company if you start as an external consultant or as an unpaid internship

Business Outlook

Pros

Good atmosphere and generally well treated by the company. Lots of opportunities for development for young people to develop within the company and opportunities to work at other locations are available.

Cons

Sometimes the work can lack motivational opportunities due to the long product lifecycles. Lessons do not always seem to be learned as they do at other companies and the more senior management within the programmes seem to lack some wider experience beyond MBDA which can be frustrating to those who have worked outside.
