Pros

BAE Systems name on my CV - as everyone associates it to the successful parent company of Applied Intelligence

Cons

Employees are treated as resources. Filling empty roles is more important that employees desired career path. Resourcing team 'ops' is a joke. Have not had a chance to do the role I applied for. Senior Management have no clue as to how unhappy grads are. There is no opportunity for progression. Promotion works on a one in and one out basis - no matter how exceptionally you perform. Retention rates are poor - a whole account is on the verge of collapse Salaries are well below the market rate CEO is ignorant and refuses to accept the problems, and dodges any questions
