Airbus reviews

high importance on leadership and people development important order backlog (approx 8 years), giving a sense of work protection for those looking for work security - similarly, quite hard to get fired from the company unless major mistake for people below VP positions very good staff councils in Toulouse, with lots of benefits great products, and most employees are proud of them

The people mostly, Airbus is full of intelligent individuals who are great to work with. The opportunities to get involved with wider Airbus activities is also a lot of fun, very rewarding if you identify with Europe. And either way, there's a lot of history and lots of ex BA and BAE employees who are more than happy to tell you the rich history of aerospace in the UK. The training offered and development schemes available are numerous and an excellent opportunity for someone willing to put the work in to get on them. As a word of advice; be visible! There are a lot of people at Airbus, you need to make sure people know you. The managers I have dealt with have all been keen to develop people, even if the pressures of production can raise the blood pressure at times. They appreciate intelligence and motivation, but will not appreciate people who want an easy ride when they're struggling so much.
