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.
