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.

- Service Company mindset - Speakup culture is glorified too much. People who speak are given more importance than people who do the real engineering work. - Low performing people are a real pain in the butt, as you have to deal with them on a daily basis. Especially in my case, these low performing people are business analysts, which made it very difficult to get business contexts while working on the application. - Manager is rude to almost all people who don't speak up or speak up less when compared to other people. - Below average company if you are a person driven by high engineering standards.
