Interesting work, good culture, and improving. A positive experience!
Pros
•Opportunities to take on responsibility and new challenges…………just ask! •A positive change in culture is taking place, this doesn’t happen overnight. •Good graduate and apprentice schemes. •Reasonable pay, good benefits and good work life balance. Good onsite facilities with a good sports and social element. •In most cases colleagues around the business are very supportive. •Staff turnover is generally low with much of the recruitment due to increased work, a number of retirement/early retirement, or both. •All companies have disgruntled employees, in many cases when things don’t go their way. Bear in mind many ex-employees have wanted to or have returned to MBDA, this often speaks volumes i.e. is the grass really greener on the other side? If truly unhappy, try to effect a positive change, it can happen, at least try..…..……..or leave!
Cons
•Yes, there are still some employees who are ‘set in their ways’ and not always willing to transfer knowledge, in case someone better shows them up and takes their place! But as mentioned by someone in another review, this is on the decline. •There are often too many meetings which do not always have an outcome. Managers simply need to listen to the ideas of all and make an informed decision. Team members simply need to speak up and accept the times when decisions don’t go their way. •A process of change can be slow and frustrating but persistence and tenacity can pay off if you are self-motivated to do so.
