"Great place to work with matching 401k. The opportunity to work on diverse projects with the DOD is wonderful. The learning is self-motivated and types of work diverse. The company focuses on replacing higher-paid technical staff with college grads and new hires to preserve the project budget. Surviving between projects can prove challenging for higher paid skillsets."

"I have worked for BAE Systems for 14 months, for two different teams. I was first underemployed, doing basic simple tasks that wasted my time. On my second and current team, I have been micromanaged, singled out, and placed in a hostile work environment. Recently, it was explained to me that my managers personal grudge against me was just something I have to work through. This was explained to me by a director of the company. Even though it is evident and has been proven that there is no justification for it."
"I have worked for BAE systems since 2008 straight out of college.I have learned a lot from it and now I am at the point where I know most of the thing about the project I'm in.
