Pros

Dynamic working can structure your week how you want it Alright pay for an engineering job

Cons

Defence company so everything is slow and tedious The tools which they give you are antiquated and deprecated the majority of the time. Feels like the company is stuck in 2008. They say this is because of it being defence though other defence companies have the better equipment and tools? Overall environment in my division is extremely insular not many ideas being discussed you will likely be spending your time debugging a piece of code somebody made 30 years ago with no documentation

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.
