To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?
To contribute meaningfully is simply doing your role but thats it, to feel valued depends on how much your manager lets you expand and practice and take on things you feel passionate about and provide value.
How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
How well do you feel the role is preparing you for your future career?
How would you rate the extent to which you were developing new or existing skills through formal training and your day-to-day role?
Experience & Company Culture
How is the support you receive?
If you have a bad manager, might as well give up.
If you have a great manager, you will be greatly supported and have a great career.
How is your work-life balance?
However, the ability to earn an additional 2 days off a month is a good option but it may mean overworking yourself just to earn them.
What is the organisational culture, values and general atmosphere like?
"Speak up culture", except once you speak up you're told to shut up and made to feel even more isolated than beforehand.
They provide the ability to do hybrid working but you're critiqued for actually doing hybrid working.
It is the downside of having an older male environment - they have the traditional "oh I come in everyday so you should too" regardless of the policies existing.
A lot of office politics.
However, if in a good team, it can be very inclusive and positive.
How would you rate Airbus initiatives when it comes to equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility?
It's all about diversity until a neurodivergent person is in the team and need support.
It's all about equality until there's sexist harassment from a coworker or manager.
It's all about accessibility until there's barriers put up and entrances blocked for the sake of authority and ego and control.
As a company, great initiatives, but the people in control and running them are the problem and the people who it is aimed at are difficult to change.
How would you rate Airbus CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives?
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Airbus to a friend?
Why?
How well did the role match your expectations based on the recruitment process?
When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to Airbus?
also, only talk briefly about airbus, hiring managers have heard a whole monologue about airbus 1000s of times, only talk about the job role and how your passion in doing well in your job aligns with airbus initiatives/goals.
