BAE SYSTEMS (United Kingdom) – “Great Place to Start”

Pros

It's a very casual environment. When I was first hired I would wear khakis and a tie to work every day. Then my manager came over and told me that I didn't have to wear a tie - jeans are fine too. We get paid weekly which is incredible. It's easy to get along with fellow employees. Managers are all great people who you'd like to have a drink with after work.

Cons

It is possible to have 8 different bosses at one time. They keep restructuring the organization to the point where you can work there for 10+ years and not see a promotion or advancement. Also they tend to not pay their contractors right away so we have to deal with them occasionally.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop restructuring the organization. It's not going to change anything - all it will do is change the name of my department...the work will remain the same.
