Pros

Steady work, flexible working and pay is OK

Cons

They go on about the core values A LOT, but they pay lip service to them and they make a big deal about supporting the services. The graduate scheme produces a lot of extremely entitled persons that have an extremely negative view towards serving military personnel and ex-servicemen who they work with. There are areas in the company where only graduates are recruited because managers are graduates themselves and wont recruit anyone who is not a graduate because if they don't have a degree they are not suitable. That from people that regard the organisations that keep the company in business and fund their lifestyle in such a negative light.

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.
