    What’s it like working at Saab?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees appreciate the friendly and supportive colleagues at Saab, with many teams fostering a family-like atmosphere. The generous leave entitlements, including six weeks of annual leave and two weeks of additional Saab leave, along with flexible working arrangements such as work from home options and nine-day fortnights, are highly valued. The Mawson Lakes location offers pleasant amenities, including lunchtime walks, good cafeteria food, and complimentary refreshments. Additionally, management supports training and professional development opportunities.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as management practices that could be improved in terms of support, communication and people skills in certain locations. Career progression can be challenging depending on the business group, with limited opportunities noted by some employees. The workload can be demanding due to rapid company growth and high customer demands, and some internal processes could be streamlined to improve efficiency.
