Pros

It is a well known company in the defense industry, so it makes for a great bullet on your resume. Lots of involvement in the workforce quality of life... but only if you are in an area with lots of BAE employees.

Cons

If you work outside of the larger BAE areas (Va, Md, Ca, etc) you are out of luck with pretty much everything. Your supervision is remote, and probably has never been to your site. You are required to onboard remotely, without any assistance... and no real contact information to make it happen. 1-800 numbers for everything from HR, to benefits (who know nothing about your actual benefits or payroll), and that's just the start. Run away if you are thinking of applying in an area where there is not a major BAE unit. It will be a disaster.

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
