Pros

BAE overall get 4/5, and are ok. Digital Intelligence is an area in BAE and is the focus of this review. If your looking for a 6 month contract or work that lasts for the duration of a project then Digital Intelligence could be ideal for you.

Cons

I had a poor experience working in Digital Intelligence and couldn’t recommend them for anyone taking a permanent position. You could come out of there worse off than when you first went in! It is a blend of incompetent leadership and toxicity. There are far better opportunities out there with nicer environments. I’d rather flip burgers rather than work there, you’d get treated better.
