      A poorly managed company that has lost all its credibility with customers and suffering from self-imposed disaster.

      Pros

      It is a small company and a good performer can advance quickly.

      Cons

      An "inner circle" of employees that founded the company exists that can make life miserable for new employees. No money exists for training and professional career enhancing courses. The company routinely lies to their customers about schedule, costs, and capabilities. The company never delivers on schedule and does shoddy work. It is a company where "winging it" is a matter of routine.

      Poor Management and Business Management

      Pros

      Nothing. No equal opportunity, no company culture, no career advancement, and its a boys club. If you're a female, they will isolate you and push you out. I went up the chain of command to which no one listened and or took me seriously, and yet, when I went to the EEOC, BAE never answered the charge or the mediation… but yet interviewed the managers involved… Guilty. This one manager was charged with retaliation and discrimination and yet he still has his job… what does that tell you? Its a boys club.

      Cons

      Dont intern here, dont work here, don’t support this company at all. They have a lousy fast turnstile of people coming and going all due to their poor management. Great employees are forced out, and poor work ethic is celebrated. Dont work here, dont support this company, dont intern here either… bring your bright minds elsewhere because they wont be valued here.

      Work anywhere but here!

      Pros

      None really, none at all.

      Cons

      I've had many employers in my lifetime and this was the worst I've ever had in my life! Bad management, unrealistic expectations, underpaid, asks ADA type questions, high turnover, belittling, disrespect, poor work/life balance, defamation of character, benefits aren't that great and forget about being able to take vacation time. Work anywhere but here!
