Yes
Why?
.
How well did the role match your expectations based on the recruitment process?
2/5
The role advert was severely lacking, and no one seems to know what you will actually be doing before you. There were several other graduates who started at the same time as me, but did not have a manager or a team to work with for several months.
When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to BAE Systems?
Be prepared for the process to take a while.
