Pros

1. Frequent visit to Europe (Mainly Toulouse or Hamburg) - Now it is not that frequent and depends on project to project 2. Benefits are decent - Like subsidized breakfast and not so subsidized lunch, travel allowance 1200/- INR (not included in CTC), Sodexo of 1500/- (not included in CTC) 3. Medical insurance (That covers parents) is very very good. It also provides OPD. 4. Salary is above average compare to any other service-based company or foreign banks but low compare to big software product based companies 5. Very meticulously follows agile methodology 6. Quality/Challenges of work is decent - Not so high not low also. 7. Currently started working in new technologies but legacy technologies are really old 8. European counterparts are good and helpful

Cons

1. No WFH policy for India office (Although European office has 1 day WFH policy) 2. No laptop - They have VDIs only 3. Engineering team (Like Aerospace Engineer) and Software engineer treated little differently 4. The software division in Airbus in India has a top-down culture and many times the manager does micromanagement which is similar to a service-based company. 5. Although Airbus says they are like product based companies but Bangalore is more like a service-based work culture for the software division 6. Not many opportunities to learn new tech or some other technology that your team is not working on. The manager won't approve of that. 7. Training is not good and as normal as like service-based companies

Pros

Airbus has an amazing culture wherein any employee at any position has direct access to the top management. The management is also very transparent about all the decisions taken at local as well as global level. Ample amount of opportunities are offered to employees who want to make a true difference and there is no limit what you can achieve.

Cons

There are really no cons of working at Airbus.

Pros

Company is only good in Europe for mechanical and electrical people as it is an aircraft manufacturer. It is a cost centre in india(NOT A DEVELOPMENT CENTRE) and undertakes all kind of maintenance work on tools in India. Prefers seniority over proficiency. Non technical people in IM (Tech dept of Airbus ) Provides standard salary at entry level and medical facilities which other companies provide. Not a good company for computer science engineer who wants to work on some cutting edge tech. Some teams are doing OK'ish work .

Cons

working on outdated technologies for most of the teams , not flexible in adopting new and best practices. Bossy culture (say yes) to their every bad decision, work like a rat , don't question . Bootlicking preferred. Leave policy also quite stringent. Politics is major part of day's proceedings. Poor hiring is done here intentionally to make people work on less important work that is passed on to Airbus India . Only for senior people with 5-10 years of experience who want to have slow paced work and are done with development work in their career. HR policies here are very rigid ( tie employee to a 3 month notice period ) and HR here don't have any power . Everything resides with your engineering manager.
