Pros

Good work life balance, the feeling is that if you want to coast or work really hard I think there is the option to accommodate both here.

Cons

Most line managers didn't know how to manage people in the slightest, many had only got the position by being at the company for 20 years. It didn't feel like there were good opportunities for bright young people to be given responsibility and go do good work. Projects are slow, responsibility is low, and I left with the impression that not many people there really liked their job.

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.
