Pros
Very good company if you're a contractor or want an easy ride to retirement.
Kontras
I started working here after finishing a grad scheme in the MoD and found it to be an appalling place to work. The comments on Glassdoors are completely spot on, not only do they bring you on as cheap as possible but there is no hope of promotion, as your line manager has to put you forward for one and it all depends if your face fits. Pay rises were also pathetic, better than nothing, but only slightly. I moved around the company trying to find the next exciting thing, only to be thoroughly disappointed. I found that a lot of managers had forgotten what technical work looked like and so they advertised roles incorrectly e.g. pretending a project management role is technical and then telling you that you should have better “role expectation management” when you question it. So if you want a mundane job, grinding away each day on something pointless, dealing with old fashioned, stubborn individuals and no hope of promotion or a decent salary, than MBDA is the place for you.
