Pros

Good atmosphere amongst the young people on site - really social group. The flexitime arrangement is a real plus too - getting to go home at lunchtime on a Friday certainly frees up your weekend. Otherwise, if you're lucky, there are some opportunities to travel, including to the continent (office in Paris and various locations in Italy). Failing that, you should at least get the chance to visit the sites in Bolton or Bristol.

Cons

The work can be quite tedious, probably a reflection of the fact that in this industry you are working to very long (sometimes up to 20 years!) timescales.

Pros

An international company that gives you amazing opportunities for international exposure (either short or long term secondment in France, UK, Italy or Germany). MBDA regroups the best of each country’s culture to make those national differences a strength developing a strong Cultural Intelligence (CQ). Huge sense of belonging working in an innovative environment in order to develop, produce and deliver cutting edge technologies within our products for our nationals and export customers. Fantastic work life balance opportunities with hybrid working pattern.

Cons

Due to the nature of our products (Defence) it might sometimes be difficult or inappropriate sharing our day to day job achievements or successes outside the company.
