Pros

By some crazy, lucky means, BAE continues to attract the top talent to the organisation, keeping Oxbridge graduates and architects with immense ability for periods upwards of 18 months.

Cons

Projects provided by the business are poorly defined, leading to sub-standard results and ultimately products that fail to sell in the market. Financial targets are regularly missed, leading to zero bonuses for the last two years for the majority of staff. Indecision and flux of management causes friction and changing priorities from month to month, causing the wasted effort of all engineers on the prior management's whims.
