Pros

Excellent flexible working arrangements. Diverse opportunities within the business to broade your skills and experience. Exciting and ambitious projects makes maintaining motivation easier.

Cons

Senior management is hit and miss. Some very good, capable individuals providing strong leadership and others stuck in a 20 year old business/engineering mindset often more concerned with how they are perceived within the senior echelons than enabling their teams. Performance assessment and promotion process is opaque. Focus on culture and 'living' the company values is not sufficiently present amongst mid/upper management. Ironically it is very present amongst the more junior echelons which often leads to conflict.

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.
