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

I had a job to survive

Cons

I thought coming in this organization would treat you better, but they still haven't learned from years of people have these experiences. This "one team" is simply obedience and this is not a review from someone who didn't want to do there job. It is purely a social game here. I haven't met a person yet who didn't talk about drinking or trying to have unprofessional relations within this organization. They have people who care, but not enough to actually do anything about it. They made promises of fixing the underlying issues, sending people to other locations, working to make the workplace better. But I promise you, they won't. In the U.S., you are a pawn to them, this is still a European company, and ethics isn't there game and you don't want to play. You can report, take time to make sure things are safe for others, but God forbid if you get a manager who sees you as a threat or gaslights you about your performance. They want you to rush, take unnecessary risks and they will discriminate you depending on the location. Come prepared with ADA accommodations, empower yourself to say no. And do everything you can to protect yourself if you want a job here without putting someone's life at risk. There is a reason Airbus tapered with evidence gathering flight recordings in France. And. they. got. away. with. It. If you get to a place were you can turn a blind eye, or have what I call, golden life privilege, where you made it somewhere and have some skills hard to come by with inequity in this world, then sign right up. That's what these positive reviews are about, it is just a game and they play the popularity contest to win. Not to keep you, and they will let you go, when you stand by the so called integrity they hire you on. Because this is a first hand account of it, and they will, take all the information you gather away from you.
