Pros and cons of working at Airbus

Pros

  • I enjoyed working at the hanger with the major equipment onsite

  • Flexible hours, great mentors, challenging tasks

  • Reasonably flexible work hours

  • I enjoy my role and hours are flexible

  • Exposure to industry and professional engineering workplace.

Cons

    • Located near the airport

    • Overwhelming learning curve at the start

    • A steep learning curve. Not a lot of easily accessible information on full processes/documents and what they are used for. Also lots of acronyms to begin with. However, as I said, everyone is willing to help and support you if you need it.

    • Slow moving projects that take months to complete can be frustrating - it is difficult to drive change when the focus is on supporting systems rather than technical assessment and design.
