Hi, thanks for your post. There are indeed plenty of opportunities here, not only to grow your network, but also to develop your career. Our pay is benchmarked annually to ensure we are paying competitively against our grading structure, similar to that of most companies our size. We are also very proud of our extensive core and flexible benefit offering which regularly gets positive feedback from our employees.

Thanks for your review. It's great to see people evangelising about how great it is to work for BAE Systems Applied Intelligence and recognising the benefits of working with the lovely, smart people we have here. To address your concerns, we have expanded the available places to park at our Guildford site recently and its worth noting that we would have struggled to improve the location of our London Building, since it is ~10 minutes walk from three major London rail stations (London Blackfriars, Waterloo and London Bridge) and only a 5 minute walk from Southwark tube station. Best of luck with your future at BAE Systems.
