Pros

I have been working for Airbus since a few years now. I started as external employee and after a couple of years a position in the team opened and I could join internally. I love to work here for a variety of reasons: - the atmosphere and working environment in the company is absolutely amazing; people are willing to help, ethics and compliance is a strong value here, team spirit in the engineering community is really remarkable; - there is a constant push to improve, enhance and make better: here quality comes first!!! - you constantly feel (or receive the feedback from the management) that your job is meaningful for the success of the company; - it is very difficult to get bored! Plenty of interesting activities pop up each month and it is a never ending learning experience; - there is a wide offer of courses and classes to choose from to improve your knowledge and hard or soft skills; - taking responsibilities for your work / area of expertise and growing professionally is very much favored and facilitated by the management; - many possibilities and freedom of moving within the company divisions, also internationally; - to conclude with, salary, working hours (35h per week contract), benefits, performance-based bonuses are above average and among the best in Germany.

Cons

I did not meet anyone yet who decided to leave for a working opportunity in another company.. I think it really means something ;)

Pros

The company has sites in different countries and there is a lot of interactions between teams in other countries. You can also see open positions worldwide and can change departments to gain experience in other areas. The company cares a lot about mental health and health & safety. The core workforce is highly valued. The profit share is usually fair.

Cons

Communication between different levels could be better and quicker. Too much bureaucracy involved when important decisions need to be made. Professional growth paths in some departments are not clear and when you receive a promotion the payrise is a very low percentage compared to when a person is recruited externally. Managers in lower levels in manufacturing are resistant to let professionals pursue other roles due to ramp ups and shortage of professionals.
