RecommendsNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at BAE Systems USA full-time for more than 8 years

Large company so there is room to move around if you are proactive In general there is good work/life-balance without a lot of pressure to build the business - unless you are in business development Wide differences among business units so you can have a variety of experiences within one company.
Cons
Large company can be very difficult to navigate unless you have the right sponsorship Functional offices are often understaffed/over-worked.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at BAE Systems USA full-time for less than a year
Pros
- Better benefits than previous subcontractors, including shift bonus pay for undesirable hours - Great leadership, actually met and began working with me on circumstances special to me that may affect my ability to work certain hours/days. - Much better pay than my previous employer in the same field, actually made an effort to retain my experience. - Ability to progress within the company based on desire and performance, and actually promotions and raises along with it. Previous salaries seemed to be established on a whim, and took little influence from performance. - Large company with expansive relocation opportunities.
Cons
- No part-time positions available, at least in my office. But this is not unique to BAE and is how the contract works. - Little flexibility with shift scheduling and rotations, no significant ability to define your own hours. Again, not unique to BAE but to the contract.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at BAE Systems USA full-time for less than a year
Pros
Pay is based on location There are multiple ways to communicate Colleagues and senior employees are always willing to help when they have spare time You're not expected to know everything on Day 1
Cons
Everyone is busy, so it can be hard to set meetings Tracking down information can be difficult because BAE is a large company, and only certain people know certain answers There's a lot to learn and your first few months will feel like you're drinking from a fire
