Pros

Set in an extremely pleasant campus environment, with excellent canteen facilities, a pleasurable environment which belies the serious nature of the work. Many of the core staff are pretty much lifetime employees, with an ingrained loyalty to the business. which results in considerable expertise but a resentment of incoming talent (see below)

Cons

As referred to above, there is a great deal of resentment of incoming talent, and a reluctance to both work with international partners and to think outside the box. The location (Stevenage) is fairly remote and offers little opportunity for extra curricular social networking

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.
