MBDA reviews

Top Level Management in Arlington, VA - At the time of this post, the California site (this also applies to Alabama site as well) is working with a less than optimal skeletal crew (people still there are talented, but it has suffered too many layoffs) to properly handle any new engineering tasks/contracts.

Lack of flexibility in movement and progression through the company. Methods of working feel outdated, and could use a more modern approach to improve the working environment. Company culture seems far too orientated towards meetings and less about decison making. Hard to get work approved because nobody seems to want to accept responsibility for decisons in case they are called up on it. Not bold or dynamic enough for me. Working across many different sites even within the same project teams can slow down communication and hinder progress. Regimented and even draconian when it comes to monitoring employee progression. HR seem to have more responsibility than is beneficial, and can detract from getting on with the job. Felt there was little room to influence the company's working methods and contributions were not appreciated. Seems to be a mistrust amongst colleagues to share information and work together. Interactions with Executive levels are hierarchical and there are barriers and 'red tape' which prevent input and interaction across these levels.
