BAE Systems reviews

In recent years there has been a significant reduction in the quality of staff - losing talented individuals to competitors and failing to replace them adequately. When taking on junior resources they are not sufficiently supported to develop their skills, often trying to push them out on to clients as soon as possible with limited specialist knowledge. Hours are typical for a consultancy which is to be expected, i.e. you do what is required to get the job done. However, the company's internal processes and support functions are not particularly supportive - meaning half of your week is taken up doing generic administrative activities, never mind satisfying demanding client expectations. Generally people are friendly and there is a good atmosphere, however due to organisational boundaries there have been some issues of late where separate business areas/functions have been competing against each other which created tensions that were not entirely necessary.

The biggest challenge working here came from the disconnect from the corporate office and the employees working at offsite locations. As budgets became tighter and pay and benefits began decreasing the corporate office was holding happy hour meet and greet events. The lack of stability caused me to look for employment.
