Pros

Companies like BAE that have no documented procedures, processes under unified umbrellas live in chaos. This means if you stick with it, you can get promoted fast.

Cons

The chaos. Political turmoil and turnovers. Toxic culture. Disconnect between local sites and corporate. Agism. "Stick with it" means 60+ hours per week. 0 career development. 0 training (I created one from scratch for my department).

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.
