      Pros

      People in staff position are nice. Used to have a good work environment but not really the case anymore. Good resume builder for Grad school.

      Cons

      Terrible communication, company in the flusher since merger. This has not been a smooth transition. Salaries are low (but to be fair may be getting better although I expect bonuses will tank offsetting that)

      Pros

      People at BAE Systems are great. They are nice and easy to work with. It feels like a family. There are tons of work company sponsored events. These events are nice to get to know other employee you might not interact with on a daily basis.

      Cons

      Old Technology, this place does not keep up with even the semi-new software technologies. Management is very risk adverse.

      Pros

      BAE has good benefits overall. They are the prime contractor for a good number of contracts within the U.S. government. This allows for a wide range of jobs from which to choose.

      Cons

      The biggest complaint is in regard to job promotion. The criteria for job promotion is largely a hidden secret. While there is documentation explaining different job titles and responsibilities, the method for receiving a promotion is never explained.
