Pros

- Dynamic working allows me to plan my working hours around personal commitments. - Nice on-site facilities in Stevenage. - Subsidised food and coffee. - Opportunities for progression for those who want it, no pressure for those who don't. - Supportive & helpful managers and HR. - Was made to feel very welcome on day 1.

Cons

- Bureaucracy, although I don't know how it compares with other defence companies. - Less variation in my day-to-day job when compared to previous roles in smaller companies.

Pros

An international company that gives you amazing opportunities for international exposure (either short or long term secondment in France, UK, Italy or Germany). MBDA regroups the best of each country’s culture to make those national differences a strength developing a strong Cultural Intelligence (CQ). Huge sense of belonging working in an innovative environment in order to develop, produce and deliver cutting edge technologies within our products for our nationals and export customers. Fantastic work life balance opportunities with hybrid working pattern.

Cons

Due to the nature of our products (Defence) it might sometimes be difficult or inappropriate sharing our day to day job achievements or successes outside the company.
