Pros

Business very supportive of employees, cares for it's staff. Great people to work with. Excellent grad scheme. Great attitude towards training and development. Slowly but positively modernizing it's practices to adapt to a younger workforce. Managers seem to genuinely care about their staff - good 'management ethos'. Great attitude and support for diversity. Low staff turnover. Reliable and fair bonus scheme. Paid overtime. Christmas gift for each employee (usually a bottle of Proseco) - This sounds simple but with the number of staff within the company it is actually quite a large investment in cost and logistics.

Cons

Slow advancement after grad scheme. Company has an excessive aversion to risk that can make championing the simplest initiatives a full-time effort. Decision makers resistant to change.

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.
