BAE Systems reviews

Salary payments and annual bonus

Low opportunity for advancement. At least in my experience. I was told if I worked there for 15 more years I could advance up a role. Maybe it’s just me but I would go insane working the same job in the same room for 18 total years. On a related note, promotions and raises are 99% based on your time with the company. I know a guy who got two programs to counter offer each other, that’s the only way it’s possible to get a real ‘merit raise’ here. That’s standard for the defense industry, though. There aren’t really any company events. I barely know anyone here except the people in my immediate group. I’d like the opportunity to make more friends at a company, but maybe that’s just me.
