      Good Company - Better than a service based company

      Systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Frequent visit to Europe (Mainly Toulouse or Hamburg) - Now it is not that frequent and depends on project to project 2. Benefits are decent - Like subsidized breakfast and not so subsidized lunch, travel allowance 1200/- INR (not included in CTC), Sodexo of 1500/- (not included in CTC) 3. Medical insurance (That covers parents) is very very good. It also provides OPD. 4. Salary is above average compare to any other service-based company or foreign banks but low compare to big software product based companies 5. Very meticulously follows agile methodology 6. Quality/Challenges of work is decent - Not so high not low also. 7. Currently started working in new technologies but legacy technologies are really old 8. European counterparts are good and helpful

      Cons

      1. No WFH policy for India office (Although European office has 1 day WFH policy) 2. No laptop - They have VDIs only 3. Engineering team (Like Aerospace Engineer) and Software engineer treated little differently 4. The software division in Airbus in India has a top-down culture and many times the manager does micromanagement which is similar to a service-based company. 5. Although Airbus says they are like product based companies but Bangalore is more like a service-based work culture for the software division 6. Not many opportunities to learn new tech or some other technology that your team is not working on. The manager won't approve of that. 7. Training is not good and as normal as like service-based companies

      In Praise of Mediocrity

      Fuel control systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to work on big and highly complex aircraft. You can do this in VERY few companies around the world, and they are hard to get into. There is a very international flavour. You will get to work with people from many different cultures, countries, languages, religions, etc. That makes life very interesting. There are veried opportunities for travel. Some travel hardly ever, others are on the road every week. It all depends on your role and project. You will have some opportunity to cross-train in different departments and skill sets, or hunker down and concentrate on just one specialism - it's your choice. The vast, vast, vast majority of engineers in all departments, in all cities, are honest, hard-working, competent engineers, who can be trusted.

      Cons

      Airbus is a very political company, in many ways. To get almost anything done requires you to play political games. If you are a techie, who just wants to get the job done, this will be very frustrating. A LOT of managers find their way into the position because they are naturally manipulative, or not technically competent, or VERY technically competent but can't get a better salary unless they go for a manager's position (where they are not so competent). The Peter Principle. The general salary and career progression system encourages mediocrity. They certainly don't want stupid engineers, but they also don't want you to be too bright and ambitious either, because then you are harder to control and manage. They want nice, average, dependable, unassuming engineers who don't rock the boat. Ever. So if you arrive on the scene full of ideas and enthusiam, they will smile and pat you on the back . . . . . and then slowly beat it out of you. At least that's how it feels. Everntually you will be so disillusioned that you will look for the exit, but by then you might be too attached yo your pension, so you stay.

      Amazing place to learn and grow

      Lead engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Airbus has an amazing culture wherein any employee at any position has direct access to the top management. The management is also very transparent about all the decisions taken at local as well as global level. Ample amount of opportunities are offered to employees who want to make a true difference and there is no limit what you can achieve.

      Cons

      There are really no cons of working at Airbus.
