Pros

Good people to work with. Professional environment. As long as the funding keeps up, it is a relatively pleasant experience.

Cons

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.

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
