      Pros

      BAE is a great British Company, with a heritage and experience in the defence and cyber areas. Excellent Graduate programs, with full support for your career Can solve any customer requirement as long as it falls in to a specialist area and customer has a lot of budget

      Cons

      AI has an identity crisis, not sure what it is as a business While this is being figured out the market is passing us by, competitors are getting stronger and what is currently offered as a service or product is outdated

      Pros

      BAE Systems is a strong company to work for. The company support seems to be strong with an emphasis on employee communication.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, they've decided to go the route of downsizing job positions in favor of saving money, in hopes to turn more favorable profits.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Never need to work more than 40 hours unless you want overtime People always call out so there is plenty of overtime to grab Free snacks provided Free lunch on Friday Can learn a lot in short time Financial incentive to complete a training folder in first 3 months which is easy

      Cons

      High turnover rate. The best employees have already left Coworkers that are left are newer that do not have good networking background Caste system in play. If you are on the first tier good luck!! You will get all of the phone calls plus tickets while second tier sits out of doing any type of real work while getting paid more than you to do it!! No promotions unless you are good friends or family Huge workload for very low pay compared to competition Pay raises are 3% a year Tiny bonuses
