The role is sometimes interesting but it takes a log time to get the competencies you need for each role as you move around quite a lot.

3/5
It has to a limited extent although some modules have been hard to apply at work

Yes, there are lots of opportunities if you want to get involved.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend MBDA to a friend?
No
Why?
Apply if you want, after all it is a nice place to work and the programme is well organised but beware that the pay is not competitive with other degree apprenticeships.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to MBDA?
If you are not local, it might not be worth it because the pay is low which means if you aren't local, you'll spend a lot on rent or petrol which will not leave you much money each month.
