Pros
Defense work can't be off-shored. Good people, dedicated to helping the soldier. Career opportunities are good but only if you are willing to relocate. Values are excellent. BAE Systems places a lot of emphasis on ethics and safety.
Cons
Culture is very poor. Severe cost challenges make it not a fun place to work right now. Moral and confidence in leadership is poor. Slow motion pull-out of Santa Clara site is demoralizing. Advancement is too contingent on mobility. If you can't or don't want to relocate, don't expect to grow beyond middle management.
