      Pros

      BAE is a pretty big company and though my position was boring and probably had little promotion potential, I doubt the entire company is that way. I enjoyed the trips to Cape Canaveral, but that was about it.

      Cons

      My job in particular was boring, had little to do with my career, or any future job, and thus the "skills" I learned while working there were pretty useless.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Laid back environment, Knowledgeable employees, Lots of time off

      Cons

      Projects always behind schedule and over-budget, Management doesn't seem to know what they're doing half the time. There is a huge age gap between employees. Most engineers are over 40 and out of shape. Because they've been doing their job so long they aren't open to new and fresh ideas of some newer employees.
