Pros

Good work environment. Within engineering, the environment is professional and non-political. Management is more competent than in other large employers I've had, and appreciates challenges from lower ranks in response to top-down directions; communication flows well both ways.

Cons

The company has grown into a behemoth bureaucracy with defined procedures for everything - and it's hard to find the people who know the procedures to get things done. If you like a smaller company atmosphere with fewer management layers, BAE is not for you.

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.
