Pros

MBDA is very paternalistic - it really cares about its people and looks after them. People are the biggest asset a company has and that is really acknowledged here. Rewards are generous with flexible BIK and working practices. We also have a recognition platform, which helps us recognise one another - used for everything from a happy birthday or work anniversary shout out; a colleague saying thank you; a small monetary award; to a larger more meaningful monetary award - everyone likes to be appreciated. We develop our people - investing significantly in formal development programmes as well as giving us tools and platforms for personal development Work is interesting and evolves as you progress. There are even opportunities to work in a different function or even a different country We pride ourselves on diversity and inclusion - celebrating the contributions each of us bring based on our differences We network extensively - networks exist to celebrate LGBTQ, Parents and Careers, Disability, Gen-EQ, Ethnic Minority, Armed Forces, Neurodiversity and Menopause

Cons

Can be pressurised at times due to the agile nature of our industry - whilst I generally thrive on this, it can be overly stressful at times Not enough diversity at top tier executive level (Management committee)

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.
