Pros

Many opportunities to work on cutting edge technologies developing next generation equipment. Decent company benefits and generous holiday allowance with option to purchase additional days. Great work colleagues.

Cons

Teams are split according to project rather than function which can make coordinating work with colleagues a challenge. Annual pay rises fall below what the company is capable of awarding it's employees.

At Airbus, we are proud to be the place to pioneer the future, and it is fantastic to hear that our generous holiday allowances and the collaborative spirit of your colleagues have helped create a positive space to belong. I am, however, sorry to read that our project-based team structures and annual pay rises have not fully met your expectations. Your insights on the challenges of coordinating across project-based splits are vital as we strive to collaborate more effectively across our technical functions. Please be assured that your review will be brought to the attention of our leadership team in Newport to support our commitment to continuous improvement.
