Pros

generally very nice people, though too many lifers and too little new blood. interesting work, if you get on the right team. there are career opportunities if you work for them

Cons

old technology, lack of innovation. management lack balls to handle tough situations or get rid of staff under-performing. Promotion often based on length of service rather than performance. No training or encouragement to self-train. Salaries and bonuses generally below standard. Cost-cutting and redundancies have led to overeall air of dejection

Pros

BAE places highly intelligent and motivated people into leadership positions at the contract sites and does not micromanage from the corporate office. When I began working at BAE in 2011 the pay and benefits were great. The 14 hours of PTO was nice too.

Cons

The biggest challenge working here came from the disconnect from the corporate office and the employees working at offsite locations. As budgets became tighter and pay and benefits began decreasing the corporate office was holding happy hour meet and greet events. The lack of stability caused me to look for employment.
