Exciting to work on space projects !

Business Outlook

Pros

It is very exciting to work on high-tech projects that are then launched and fly in space ! Great commitment of the employees to delivering high-quality products.

Cons

The process looks heavy sometimes, but this is also what guarantees the quality of our products. Another drawback would be the pay, which is OK but could be better.

Business Outlook

Pros

Airbus gives opportunities for career, work/life balance and very good benefits (salary, pension fund, ...). Amazing company to work for for family people with children, you get a lot of flexibility in working hours and holidays. Completely recommend it!

Cons

Even if I'm in love with Airbus and dreamed to come back after my internship, I have to admit that the company is quite old-fashioned with aging population. In areas I worked for (I'm not an engineer, I guess it will be completely different for them) I experienced lack of young and motivated people who are searching for challenges and want to change things.

Company works in great business, helping people, but not the employees

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Changes are happening, but not quick enough. Love the business we are in, nice to know we are helping people.

Cons

Need further purging of the old guard. Benefits not aligned with the rest of the company worldwide. For a company with communications in it's name, it does a poor job communicating. Employees are just tools to use and exhaust. If you are not in the California office you are nothing in this company.
