Pros

MBDA is a great company to work for. They are a company that really do invest in their people and recognise that the value of a company is the employees. Your career development is foremost in the thinking, with lots of training (both on the job and classroom) and even support for further education opportunities, professional qualifications. Work content is extremely fulfilling with involvement of a wide range of technologies, business and engineering disciplines and across the whole product life cycle. Mobility within the organisation is also a strength so if you fancy a career direction change you can do it within the Company. The canteen and gym facilities on site are great and there are a wide range of clubs and events outside of work.

Cons

It’s a complex organisational structure which can take time to really understand who your network, key stakeholders and interfaces are.

Pros

Very accommodating for all types of flexible working patterns including start/end time, working pattern (e.g. MTTF), half day Fridays. For example I generally work 7-4. Over time is paid at 1.25x rate. Plenty of opportunities for progression if you are driven and willing to take opportunities that are presented. Friendly work environment, with a very "flat" feeling structure and the ability to challenge or raise concerns and questions with anyone. Large company with many projects, hence always meaningful and challenging work to be found. Decent benefits, including 14% pension contributions (personal contribution 6% and company 8%). Can make a large impact in a short period of time, with responsibility quickly earned and expanded.

Cons

Some of the benefits could be improved, such as maternity/paternity cover, private health care providers and the share scheme. Some processes can feel slow, and making change in a large company can time. This has definitely improved in recent years.
