Overview of the Role
Overall, how would you describe your experience at Airbus?
The company is very supportive and is very willing to have you. They give you the support to move and also specific knowledge necessary. People are very friendly and are easy to talk to. There is so much going on that there is always tasks to be worked on. The graduate scheme allows you to move around the business for different placements to experience the whole company, not only in your own country but across the world.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
There is lots of technical information that needs to be learnt but there is lots of examples of previously similar tasks. There is management of time between the different tasks to ensure all is done on time and to budget. Technical writing and analysis of data and reports is the day to day job, but this will different when moving to different placements.
To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?

How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?

Its not too bad but the opportunities to travel and move around the business outweighs the lower starting salary. There is other perks such as health and salary sacrifice schemes that are useful to some also.
