Software Engineer

"Out of four professional, post-college jobs, ENSCO was probably the best job I've had yet. The only reason I am not still there is because of company cutbacks due to a lack of work due to the economy. Otherwise I rank job security there an A. They really try their best to find new projects and retain good workers."

Working at BAE Systems in Los Angeles, CA: 7 Employee Reviews

BAE Systems Employee

in Los Angeles, CA

"BAE Systems was a successful company before it moved from Santa Monica facility (Lear Astronics, Marconi) to Los Angeles. Soon after the move, it struggled to get new contracts and thus closed its site and relocated back to the east coast. Most of the managers were excellent mentors and very helpful. But, unfortunately, most of the time the engineers were working on too many projects, and not enough help. The company had approximately 1000 employees."
