      Pros

      You dont get stressed working at BAE (there's no point) You get six months sick leave You get a works canteen with reasonable food (sometimes) You are more likely to recover from a heart attack (due to own ambluance service) I.e. good work life balance

      Cons

      Few career prospects in engineering. Too much inertia company has too much legacy in terms of bad practice dead weight etc. Boring job Bad person management
