Pros
The best aspect of working at BAE we're my colleagues. Having a great team made all the difference day to day. Benefits were generally ok, plenty of PTO and holidays. Work from home opportunity was dependent on role but for me was occasionally available if needed. Many opportunities to learn new technologies while growing and refining existing skills. 9/80 schedule is fantastic. CEO appears to genuinely care about the organization overall.
Cons
Market rates (pay) consistently behind the rest of the market and other companies. Employees should not have to try and take an opportunity elsewhere to receive a pay rate that matches their worth. Major communication issues abound with upper/senior managment . Upper/senior managment seemed to not acknowledge when processes/procedures break down at their level. Changes to processes, procedures, software and hardware needs to happen much quicker for the IT portion of the company. Process for being cleared to various programs broken, difficult, and takes far too long.
