lots of opportunities to get involved outside of normal working day such as VIP visits, outdoor team building exercises and much more.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?
Yes
Why?
It's a chance to essentially start again and learn something new or further develop knowledge. Opportunities to work elsewhere in the company so benefits of travel and to learn different cultures can be available. Company values its employees.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAE Systems?
Be honest and dress smart (appropriately). Tell them why YOU are interested and the benefits YOU can bring to the organisation. Try to stand out all for the good reasons.
