Overview of the Role
Overall, how would you describe your experience at BAE Systems?
Great experience so far, feel as though the graduate scheme helps ease people into the role and responsibilities
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
Rig testing and updating test case documents. Enjoy the rig testing as it breaks up the traditional office based work; its more hands on and practical while I do like updating the test cases as these will be tested in future
To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?
4/5
Overall very good, as I am still learning I am figuring things out and slowly taking on more responsibilities.
How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
3/5
Average, I believe there are many perks to BAE but have not been able to use them fully yet. The share incentive scheme is a great idea
How well do you feel the role is preparing you for your future career?
5/5
A lot of the companies behaviours are being developed here. I see myself here long term so want to consider professional registration and becoming a higher grade
How would you rate the extent to which you were developing new or existing skills through formal training and your day-to-day role?
4/5
Very good, becoming better at the role
Experience & Company Culture
How is the support you receive?
4/5
Overall very good, only minor improvement would be that managers/seniors are not always there to attend my concerns, but this is understandable because they have a heavy workload and are balancing their time
How is your work-life balance?
3/5
Currently something I want to improve and focus on
What is the organisational culture, values and general atmosphere like?
5/5
Great learning environment with mixed people

5/5
How would you rate BAE Systems CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives?
3/5
Not sure what this is and how it affects me currently

How well did the role match your expectations based on the recruitment process?

When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to BAE Systems?
