Pros and cons of working at BAE Systems AU
Pros
Interesting projects, supportive leadership, great focus on training and self-improvement.
My team is very capable and willing to help.
The breadth of experiences I get to have and contribute to - no photocopying and fetching coffee here!
Very good industry training related to work solving real-world problems - the opportunity to work on significant platforms/systems/projects for Defence
Meaningful, challenging and exciting work.
Cons
A little bureaucratic at times, things take a while to happen.
Not much naval architectural work, considering I applied for the graduate naval architect position
The company is very big and has many different departments spread over many buildings/sites so understanding the business is difficult.
Whilst position is secure, work taskings / scope of role can be flexible - whilst this provides wider opportunities, often re-settling into a new/additional role/responsibility can be a challenge at times
Not too many travel opportunities
