Pros

- Good work life balance. - Flexible working hours. - Option to work from home. - Management at lower level is good; suggestions from the team are listened to, action is often taken based on team suggestions and processes are reviewed/refined on a regular basis.

Cons

- Low pay - around 10000 below market rate for myself and others I've spoken to. - Benefits could be better; benefits were health insurance for myself, 5% employer pension contribution, discounted dental insurance. - Extremely high attrition rate among engineers, people aren't replaced. - Low morale among remaining employees. - Lack of opportunities to move around within AI, or to move to other areas of BAE Systems.
