Pros

Exciting projects with huge and exciting challenges. As a company BAE Systems treats its employees well and offers good employee benefits.

Cons

Company locations are often remote and therefore for most employees the opportunity to build a knowledge of the whole business is limited.

Pros

Friendly and pleasant environment Ideal for a graduate who starts a career Social events

Cons

Low salaries compared to competition Managers constantly try to hide problems rather than facing them. Senior people are leaving and they are not replaced. This led to an under-skilled workforce Politics prevail. Skilled people and overachievers do not get rewarded because other people have just waited for a longer time to get promoted, regardless of whether they deserve it or not.
