Pros

Practices hybrid work arrangement. Possibility to move to other Airbus entities if the opportunity exists.

Cons

No work done, just meeting after meeting. Incompetent and punitive middle management. Your competency is judged by how nice your presentation deck looks.

We’re sorry to hear that you perceived your experience to be negative at NAVBLUE. We embrace a speak up culture and feel our leadership team and HR have been available to support our employees. We do our best to provide numerous avenues to allow our employees to communicate transparently such as leadership surveys, engagement surveys, local team talks, the anonymous ability to provide comments/feedback at company wide town hall, skip level meetings with management and coffee chats whenever there are leadership members in the office. Throughout COVID, we took measures to ensure the safety of our employees was priority and always complied with local government regulations. We recognize there has been some attrition in sales, but not to the degree that you’ve indicated. We appreciated the contribution to those who have departed and are closely reviewing their feedback. We are aware of the challenges and opportunities that as a company we face and we try to change accordingly in order to adapt and improve to ensure a successful future. During any major change we always take the time to consider our employees. A recent example of this is the reorganization of one of our departments. We spent several months sitting down with all affected employees, running workshops to ensure everyone had the opportunity to share their feelings, thoughts on best practices and ensure the change would be beneficial to all. We always keep our employees well being top of mind when implementing any new change. If you are open to have a discussion please reach out to any member of the leadership team, HR team or staff representatives. We would appreciate the opportunity to continue this conversation further.

Pros

- Stable employment - Near zero "crunching" or required overtime - Relatively cool domain (commercial aviation) - Some nice benefits like "learning grants" - Nice office space - Geese nesting in overhang visible through windows: cute - Geese guarding entrances provide practical experience in self-defense

Cons

- Meetings and bureaucracy consume increasingly larger parts of work-day - Lots of old technology and little chance for ownership - Dead sea effect in engineering - Sketchy decisions by leadership - "Code Monkey" approach to software development - All decisions and designs made without feedback from implementation team. - Strict adherence to sprint plan with no room for deviation - Everything must be pre-approved, scheduled, and justified to someone with absolutely no idea of what you're talking about. - KPIs more important than real progress - Developers treated like identical, interchangeable machines that can work on and modify any part of a project at any time. - All of the above means you'll never know how anything works, neither will anyone else, and your progress as an engineer will stagnate.
