Pros

In my 28 years of design experience Airbus has the best benefits package then any other company I've worked for.

Cons

Working in Wichita there is no build shop or prototype facility. This is strictly an Engineering only facility.

Pros

International, lots of people are bi- or tri-lingual at least, big melting pot of nationalities Generally good flexibility on working hours (varies by department though) Good opportunities for mobility if you're happy to push for them and be flexible Excellent training courses Airbus Commercial Aircraft has excellent staff council Airbus Commercial Aircraft has excellent internal restaurants

Cons

Big group = lots of inertia Despite lots of task about mobility there are lots of job hoggers Need personal network to progress (not merit based) No new programmes in sight so refocus on processes in main group companies Decreasing opportunities for progression due to reduction in middle management positions/tighter rules regarding promotions Department culture very dependent on boss (personality, nationality, etc) - big variations across services and the company

Pros

High tech company that employs some of the brightest. Company tries to become a 21st century organization.

Cons

Former publicly owned. European Union type of politics and decission making. Not necessarily the higher management. It is mostly aging middle management who resists change.
