      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some projects can be very interesting (but tend to be few and far between). Depending on what site you're based at you might find that you are merely resource to do any old task that has nothing to do with your skills. Pay is good. Work-life balance is excellent as the business is very flexible around working hours. It's unusual to see people working lots of overtime these days (but then maybe that's because we've all been burned in the past). The atmosphere in the office is pretty relaxed

      Cons

      Little in the way of professional development - well, none actually. There are few training courses and little upward mobility. It's a highly political environment and those who play the game best seem to do well. Communication is all top-down. Senior management seem aloof and disinterested in the opinions of engineers. Very much a "them" and "us" tension between the executive population and the rest of us.

      Summary of BAE Systems AI experience

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Ai has many outstanding people, it engages in an unusually wide variety of work, much of it highly interesting and challenging. Its culture and ethics are amongst the best I have experienced.

      Cons

      There are few areas where AI doesn't compare favourably with other companies in its field. It perhaps needs to review its overall rewards which may have fallen slightly behind others in its marketplaces
