Pros

To work at Airbus brings a lot of work benefits and a good salary. When you have a 40h week you wont be working much more hours than that, which gives a good work/life balance. Also it is great to take the ferry shuttle to work in Hamburg. There are a lot of interesting subjects to work on and you have all kinds of airplanes, including the A380 near you all day long!

Cons

The company is very big and therefore slow with changes and your visibility as an employee to the upper management is lower than in a smaller company. The site in Hamburg is quite big, that you dont meet your friends from work so often.
