Pros

Flexitime + friday afternoons off Some interesting people Portsmouth not the worst location (*cough*Stevenage*cough*) Ability to work abroad

Cons

Lower salary than equivalent graduate schemes (even within Airbus Group) Next to no proper training Little direction, especially at the start HR are fairly incompetent and can take months to pay back significant amounts of expenses

Pros

Work life balance can be great (as a structures graduate however this is debatable)

Cons

Structures (Wing) engineering grad scheme is a shambles, despite sharing feedback by graduates currently leaving every few months NOTHING has been done to address the issues. Most of the management / early careers has been made aware however they continue to push back. It's a shame since Airbus is a great company to work for, however due to their budget issues most of the perks are no longer there. Their pay is outdated, you are limited to "process oriented " placements with no focus on development or progression and treated as "free labour" (given a bad placement review if you ask for development instead of contributing to the team) Honestly lots of other options in the market, and as an ex-grad myself I can say please do not waste your golden years struggling for nothing

Pros

The work culture is excellent. They care about the welfare of their employees including their personal development. The work load is measured properly and they make sure all employees have a fair share of work without overburden. Management listens and takes corrective action wherever possible. Salary is moderate with some benefits but according to aerospace standard in India. Ample of opportunities to switch between teams and they encourage collaboration among teams within department at least. Weightage given to additional activities that adds value to business or generation of more budget in the department.

Cons

Lacks a bit on basic infrastructure like laptops and other enabling devices, however they are gradually working on it. The image one has in mind about working in Airbus might not be met until one gets to work in their Europe locations since that’s where the major things happen and where one gets to see the true output of the work that he/she does from India with all the test rigs, assembly lines and other RnD centres being out there.
