BAE Systems USA reviews

Work force are ready to retire in 5 years or less. Continuous improvement is NON-EXISTENT in this company. No process at all, operations does whatever they want. I have no idea how they get vehicles out the door. When a program is behind schedule, they throw bodies at it and drive hours to the roof. They can't even follow the basic LEAN principles, which is 5S. If you like working for an organize, process driven, continuous improvement company, then this is definitely bot the place for you. As for benefits, its not the best, 2 weeks vacation until 5 years then you get 3. HSA deductible is 3k/ 6k and they only contribute up to $800 for family, other places I have worked contributed over $1500.

The budget controls everything. If the military is cutting back, so is BAE Systems. So training, bonuses, even your job is at risk and can be cut at any time based on available funding. I always told people I didn't have a job, I had a gig. When the money runs out, the gig is up. And so it came to pass with me after 4.5 years of service. I never had a good feeling about my job security while with them, knowing that everything could come to an end at any time without warning.
