Pros

- Good pay, and varied work. The work-life balance at 'satellite sites' is very good. - Not afraid to put they're hands up to mistakes and try something different.

Cons

Be sure to check where your main site of working is in comparison to where your team is located - else prepare for travelling/being distant to your team. Plus be wary about how much discipline engineering you'll be doing (as opposed to systems/project engineering), discipline engineering is only really done at main BAE sites - this may not apply to ALL business units. So take with a pinch of salt. For graduates - do not let the recruitment people hide behind 'security,' when it comes to asking about what you'll be doing. They most likely do not know themselves...
