Pros

Part of a large international group with lots of opportunities. Like any company teams vary form one area to another but I have been very satisfied with the support from management and learning opportunities I've experienced in the company. The company is filled with very passionate people my experience in the space systems division has given me the opportunity to work with some of the most knowledgeable experts in the field. Employees are generally quite well looked after with plenty of vacation time and on many sites flexible working hours.

Cons

Although mobility and career progression is highlighted as a top priority by management poor HR policies and small minded local politics can cause blocking points.
