Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?
Yes
Why?
It has been very positive. thorough onboarding, lots of support, good benefits and an overall good company from what I can tell so far.
How well did the role match your expectations based on the recruitment process?
3/5
The only downside I would say is quite general job roles. Not very specific on what sort of day to day activities will be taking place. That being said, for security reasons I understand the reasoning behind this and I am enjoying my role.
When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to BAE Systems?
Focus on the company behaviours, be enthusiastic and research the company and current projects to show interest.
