Airbus reviews

Talking in acronyms is common to any sphere of work, but here it really does rule the day and I expect many of the misguided souls who work here feel proud to be 'on the inside'. Astrium is a company of one-trick ponies grinding their way slowly through meetings about meetings not to mention the endless paperwork. It's amazing to think that working products actually emerge at the end of this slow and inefficient process. Pay is in the lower quartile relative to other sectors and career progression poor. So many people here seem trapped with no transferable skills and boy don't HR know this. Ok for contractors as a last resort but again pay rates are low. If you really must work in the space sector, seek out opportunities in Canada and the USA.

Little pressure to deliver can make work very slow. Huge level of process, inadequate environment and IT infrastructure and flat management structure can make work life very frustrating. Large multinational company results in slow change and a tendency to do things they way they have always been done. Change is not encouraged. Due to flat structure, its very difficult to get promotions in management. Little encouragement or pressure to build skills and continue to develop. If you are looking to be under pressure, constantly challenged, want quick promotion and high pay prospects then look else where
