Pros

- Name of the company - Benefits - Some people you meet - Interesting technology

Cons

- Senior management - Huge disconnection between the international offices - So many backstabbing - Nepotism hidden under diversity and inclusion I have been working at BAE for the past 3 years and I can't tell you how toxic their work environment is. You are told you and your team are not getting a promotion because the company is going through some hard times... Only to find out that senior management and VPs are... Avoid this company at all costs.

Pros

The hybrid schedule is a major benefit and provides a good balance between in-office collaboration and flexibility.

Cons

Career growth can feel limited if you are not originally from Utah or already connected within the local organization. Time off can feel limited compared to the government customer you support. The customer often receives more holidays and administrative leave, but contractor employees may still be constrained by sector policies even when the contract generally follows the customer’s schedule.
