Pros

Airbus is a great opportunity for any young person wishing to start their career. Anyone wishing to hopefully work abroad one day should definitely chase a career in airbus as mobility is greatly encouraged. I have been working in Airbus Uk for four years now and have recently had the opportunity to work in Nantes, France and it was a fantastic experience. The benefits given to employees through numerous schemes are second to none. Development is a very important aspect of Airbus and the company will do all they can to further support your training/development aspirations. Also Airbus really is a 'job for life' with the company outlook always expanding and improving.

Cons

The biggest con i can think of is that with such a big company and many employees at all different levels there can sometimes be a 'divide' between corporate levels, such as between upper management and the employees directly on the factory floor. Although this is improving with recent involvement schemes.

Pros

I had a job to survive

Cons

I thought coming in this organization would treat you better, but they still haven't learned from years of people have these experiences. This "one team" is simply obedience and this is not a review from someone who didn't want to do there job. It is purely a social game here. I haven't met a person yet who didn't talk about drinking or trying to have unprofessional relations within this organization. They have people who care, but not enough to actually do anything about it. They made promises of fixing the underlying issues, sending people to other locations, working to make the workplace better. But I promise you, they won't. In the U.S., you are a pawn to them, this is still a European company, and ethics isn't there game and you don't want to play. You can report, take time to make sure things are safe for others, but God forbid if you get a manager who sees you as a threat or gaslights you about your performance. They want you to rush, take unnecessary risks and they will discriminate you depending on the location. Come prepared with ADA accommodations, empower yourself to say no. And do everything you can to protect yourself if you want a job here without putting someone's life at risk. There is a reason Airbus tapered with evidence gathering flight recordings in France. And. they. got. away. with. It. If you get to a place were you can turn a blind eye, or have what I call, golden life privilege, where you made it somewhere and have some skills hard to come by with inequity in this world, then sign right up. That's what these positive reviews are about, it is just a game and they play the popularity contest to win. Not to keep you, and they will let you go, when you stand by the so called integrity they hire you on. Because this is a first hand account of it, and they will, take all the information you gather away from you.
