Pros

Fair Pay. Good job challenges. 9/80 work week a real plus!!

Cons

Management doesn't invest adequately in Business Development and Capture. BAE is a "box" provider to the big primes on most jobs. Therefore, they are at the whim of the Lockheed's and Boeing's of the world to be a junior partner/sub-contractor on the big contracts. Most of senior management is "inbred" from within the company, therefore there are no new ideas or any real understanding of the DoD customer. Personnel hired from the government or military, with significant experience, are not provided the opportunity to advance and not valued for their knowledge - only their Rolodex.

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.
