      Fantastic culture; a company that comprises of courteous, hard-working people. The majority of BAE Systems employees work well with one another.

      Cons

      Salary raises come in small increments. Do not know if promotions will be the same.

      Pros

      Knowing my jiob, flex time, great people and product to work with

      Cons

      No raises, no pension, no bonuses, no room to move. Complete dead in place.

      Advice to Management

      Compensate employees financially. People are working hard but no sign of appricistion. Be like Google. The people are the company assests not the products. Retain them.

      Pros

      Stable job. Smart people. Useful products. Lots of work. Acceptable benefits. They run a tight ship. No nonsense. They try to be nice to you.

      Cons

      Office environment is dreary. Cafeteria sucks. Salaries are ordinary. Benefits could be better.

      Advice to Management

      Don't be so chintzy on office parties. Cash bars at the QLMs at hotels are tacky. Sinks in the kitchenettes would be a distinct improvement.

      No opinion of CEO

      I have been working at BAE Systems USA full-time for more than 5 years

      Pros

      Flex time to let me work when I want to. A 9/80 (or alternative) work schedule to provide 3 day weekends every other week. Good benefits. Great coworkers. Great furniture. Good hierarchy manager and lead structure to allow for help from multiple directions. Everyone is for the warfighter and not for BAE, which focuses us on the customer, not management. 1

      Cons

      Over the last 4 years BAE has slowly rolled back some great benefits. Weekly to Bi-weekly pay periods and stating there's no cost difference (what about payroll??). First 10 hours over 80 hours are free - we get no pay (4 years ago we did! ). They've removed the best Traditional health insurance program. If you are really good at your job, a golden goose, you'll constantly get pulled back to the same program which... could be great, but if you don't like that program then that will push you out of BAE.

      Advice to Management

      Ensure your employees are happy where they are, and if they aren't then move them to somewhere they want to go, don't keep giving them raises or promotions to make them stay.
