  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • Yes, there are lots of opportunities if you want to get involved.

    9/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend MBDA to a friend?

    • No

  • 9b. 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.

  • 10. 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.
