Pros

The culture at BAE is special due to its people. I haven’t found a person who isn’t willing to help share their expertise and help you learn - no matter the subject. There is opportunity for growth and learning new subjects, since there is a focus on career progression.

Cons

There is room for greater reward structures alongside improvement projects (example - where employees are compensated commensurate to the money saved by the company). Higher emphasis and encouragement to stay through reward would be useful for the company, ensuring employee retention.

Pros

5% vested at 3 years Annual pay raise Sponsor CI Poly

Cons

Management is absent at best Meaningless mid level billets so project managers can be responsible for and do less Most employees do not reach 3 year mark to vest 401k Double counting of shifts staffed by customer which the company also used as a requirement for the employee to use PTO Favoritism with promotions Managers blame employees for their lack of motivation rather than look inward Team level managers chosen nearly out of necessity alone making many of them unqualified as leaders
