Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone at Airbus is inspired by the product and identifies with it. Being motivated is easy because of the team spirit and the sense of a common goal. You always have the feeling of working at the forefront of technology. The company develops at a fast pace and things change on a day-to-day basis.

Cons

Because you work in a large company, you can easily get the feeling that you are a small cog in a large wheel. For a variable and interesting career in the long term you should look around in other departments and initiate a change. The good side is, that it is easily done having in mind the dimensions of Airbus.

Pros

High tech company that employs some of the brightest. Company tries to become a 21st century organization.

Former publicly owned. European Union type of politics and decission making. Not necessarily the higher management. It is mostly aging middle management who resists change.
