Pros

BAE makes the world a worse place.

Cons

Saudi Arabia uses BAE-supplied weapons to decimate Yemen’s infrastructure, leaving thousands of civilians dead or faced with crippled education and healthcare systems while epidemics sweep the country. Chairman Roger Carr uses the thin excuse that BAE only supplies the weapons, but does not engage in the war.

Pros

Good benefits, great exposure to top financial services organisations, minimal travel required, hours are usually fine although occasional weekend work is needed to meet deadlines.

Cons

Unclear product strategy and translation of company vision to staff on the ground. Career progression for technical staff is poorly defined.
