Pros

A rapidly growing area of BAE Systems receiving huge investment from wider company. Good benefits and employees are valued

Cons

There are many young managers around who progressed rapidly in the early days of the company and don't necessarily have the experience. Its difficult to progress at the same rate as previous 'generations'.

Pros

Training and development is taken seriously and there are lots of opportunities to develop yourself but you do need to be proactive about it.

Cons

Just the standard ones of working in a large organisation, can be quite a bit of bureaucracy and quite a few management layers which can slow down decisions.

Pros

Very interesting work, if you are in a position to find/receive it. Generally very pleasant colleagues - though some lack basic social skills.

Cons

Senior and BAES management have no clue of where to take the company. I can think of several examples of failed programmes that are swept under the carpet. There are a lot of old timers, as a result any dissent is frowned upon.
