      Only work here when nothing else is available, a good stepping stone!

      Principal engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's space related, and it's big - so there are good projects to work on and lots of opportunity for relocating to other sites (if that is your thing). While management is bad, the actual employees are very friendly and good to get along with.

      Cons

      Management lives in a different world from the engineers! Often engineers on projects are told to prioritize administrative work over the actual project work. Human Resources work hard to impede anything, don't trust them for a second! Totally open-office concept (except managers) makes it very hard to hear yourself think.

      Sunset of a Great European Aircraft Story.

      Pros

      Because developing commercial aircraft is the only thing you want to do in life. And you absolutely want to work in Europe, nowhere else. Then Airbus is certainly your best bet. Indeed, there aren't many other bets.

      Cons

      If you are an engineer, you will most suffer low morale. This may seem odd in an industry built on the back of engineering creativity. Indeed, you will hear Airbus senior management and recruiters bemoan the fact that they can't recruit enough suitable engineers. But the reality is, They want mediocre engineers, prepared to produce mediocre work, and satisfied with mediocre reward. They will SAY they highly value engineers. But their actions bely their words. There are bright spots. Some local departments are very well led and managed. But even excellent managers cannot protect you from the stifling bureaucracy. A few people do seem to thrive in the environment, and have meteoric career paths. But they are not the norm.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Family oriented, unparalleled benefits, excellent leadership, good rewards and recognition, small team environment. Company believes in work/life balance. Comp time is tracked and is treated as time you take off whenever you wish. Company sponsors numerous external company events throughout the year to keep all of the employees and families involved and socially integrated. Compensation is higher than most NASA contractors that I've worked for in the past. Benefits are incredible. Senior management is composed of people that are widely respected in their fields.

      Cons

      Working within NASA and ESA ever changing budgets. Communication between small teams is very good now but could be even better.
