OK but room for improvement - Anonymous employee BAE Systems Employee Review

- Multiple acquisitions have resulted in a fragmented company without a clear direction. Strategies have been defined but in reality company direction is based on today's opportunities. Direction also very much depends on local leadership, their sometimes limited understanding of the local organisation and perhaps short-term KPI's. - In an attempt to get a grip on the organisation an large number of policies and systems have been introduced which requires a large support team to operate and maintain this system. As a result the organisation is sluggish and too many stakeholders are involved in most decisions. - There's a high dependency on UK staff flying in regularly or relocating, especially for more strategic positions.
