What’s it like working at BAE Systems?
AI summary of recent reviews
Employees at BAE Systems value working with supportive colleagues and appreciate the work/life balance, including flexible hours, 9-day fortnights, and remote work options. The work is interesting and challenging, particularly on large-scale projects, and company policies prioritise well-being, with good support for personal circumstances.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as varying management experience and frequent leadership turnover, inconsistent organisational processes with changing requirements, limited training and development opportunities, slow communication between management and staff, and staff turnover among experienced employees affecting project continuity.

A learning experience of how bad a major defence company can operate. Think hard before coming here.
The good thingsThe people who you directly work day to day with make the job bearable. The 9 day fortnight is pretty good too.
Didn’t have enough space in the challenges section so had to add it here.
If you take pride in your work and want to progress and do different things go elsewhere. Every day will feel like Groundhog Day once the excitement of working on warships wears off. Will complain about spending 1 extra minute for lunch but when you ask for better equipment to do your job more efficiently it’s like it’s coming directly out of there own pockets. I was lucky enough to start as a permanent full timer, good luck if you are a casual employee as they can/ will any excuse available to try and not put you on full time even if it’s a position that they struggle to fill. Also promise to pay for tickets if required in the interview process, then when it comes to needing said tickets it is again met with every excuse under the sun to not make it happen.
The challengesFor a multi billion dollar company it is incredibly unorganised, you could be doing something a certain way for 12 months then one day they’ll decide it’s non compliant and make your job 10x harder for no reason. To then only backflip on the rule when it suits them.
You don’t get paid for your tickets due to their ‘pay matrix’. Not only that but they will go out of there way to make sure you don’t get VOC on your tickets to ensure you don’t get paid what you’ve been hired for.
Upper management have a chip on there shoulder thinking they’re the bees knees and will speak to you like you’re dirt even tho the production workers, trades, operators on site are the reason the ships get built.
If you enjoy coming to work not having to think for yourself and being another cog in the wheel this is the place for you.

For Clarity: Seeking Basic Professionalism from Leadership
The good thingsFun place to hang waiting for the big jobs
The challengesDisorganised management with heavily mismanaged project resources, which severely impacts apprentice training. The culture among office staff feels unsupportive and exclusive, particularly for female workers. Strongly advise looking elsewhere for a structured trade pathway."
