Major disappointment - Engineer BAE Systems USA Employee Review

The culture of politics were nearly unbearable. Many people have lasted at BAE by putting in the time and learning how to play the game. Unfortunately if you don't play the game by kissing up to the right people and adopting a protectionist attitude towards your work you will not survive. I have never seen so many people unwilling to help out a new hire and in some cases going out of their way to undermine your work to protect their own little world. Many of the managers I encountered were egomaniacs with very little respect towards the average worker on the floor. Quality is talked about as a priority but in reality very little effort is put forth to create a true Quality culture. The quality engineers were often derided and pushed aside for speaking up about their quality concerns.
