Pros

CEO Opportunity to interact with experienced colleagues in Europe Interesting projects

Cons

Airbus India is filled with people from one region of India and favouritism is rampant. If you do not belong to that region you are bullied by even the management until you have no option but to be subservient or quit. Hiring and promotion is based on where you are from rather than how capable you are.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay. Products are well designed and robust for the most part. Fast expense reimbursement. Job looks good on your resume.

Cons

Chaotic work environment. Constant changes to internal processes ensures the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Insufficient (non-existent) training for new employees - hit the ground running and learn on the job as best you can. Crucial executives are not fit for their jobs making underlings lives miserable. This job will beat you down and make you question your abilities
