Pros
* BAE Systems is a well-known name & brand. * Great people (although many have recently left)
Kontras
* 'Ops' (internal resourcing) will misrepresent roles and in some case just lie about them, on the understanding that "we all have to muck in and do our part" and with the promise of early rotation into a more favourable position. As soon as the role is filled this rotation ceases to be possible. * People are seen as a resource to fill roles; little attention is given to an individual's interests or skills - e.g. software developers are given business consultant or PMO roles and vice versa. * Salary & bonus far below market rate for developers (little experience in other business units so cannot comment on these). * Senior management regard technical staff as expendable and "replaceable", with suggestions to combat high attrition rates as either "not actually a problem" or suggesting that "if people wish to leave, then they should leave".
